Cristiano opened the scoring in the 23rd minute from the penalty spot to put a game on track that Paulo Dybala would leave sentenced for the bianconeri with the 0-2, a result that keeps Juve at the top of the standings with a point over Lazio.
The goal against Bologna also represents a turning point for Cristiano, who had not scored for Juventus for four months, since he had not done so since the Serie A match against SPAL in Ferrara (1-2) on February 22 . Christian did not score in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League against Olympique Lyon (1-0 for the French team) and did not see goal in the last league game before the break due to the coronavirus pandemic in the victory against Inter Milan in the Italian Derby on March 8 (2-0 for the bianconeri). The Portuguese was not successful on his return to competition in the semifinals of the Italian Cup against Milan, when he missed a penalty although Juve would end up going to the final.
In fact, with this much Cristiano silences the criticism he has received in the Italian press after Juventus's defeat of Turin against Napoli on penalties during the Italian Cup final, where Cristiano did not score either. In fact, the Italian media surrender to the figure of Cristiano on Tuesday. The Gazzetta dello Sport collects the return of the Portuguese with the owner “Ronaldo, who had missed a penalty against Milan, this time did not hesitate and paved the way for Juventus.” Corriere dello Sport also applauded the Portuguese's great game. “Ronaldo and Dybala relaunch Juventus and end the crisis after the defeat in the Italian Cup.” For his part, Corriere della Sera talks about the importance of Ronaldo in the team and his thirst for revenge. “The first key to understanding Juventus' health is Cristiano, as always. He appeared in a spirit of revenge with multiple shots and dribbles.” Cristiano has returned to his appointment with the goal and has done so at the most important moment of the season with Serie A and the Champions League as great goals to completely forget the painful defeat in the Italian Cup.
