Cristiano Ronaldo is still waiting for his first Serie A goal since joining Juventus in a shock move this summer from Real Madrid.
Juventus were 2-1 winners in this evening matchup with Parma. Mario Mandzukic opened the scoring only two minutes into the game.
Former Arsenal ace Gervinho then equalised for Parma before Blaise Matuidi turned into an unlikely hero scoring the winner for the ‘Old Lady’ 58 minutes into the game.
Ronaldo is now goalless in his first three appearance for Juventus – this is by far the form fans have been accustomed to as Ronaldo again struggled against Parma.
Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo will be looking to break the duck very soon, with the former Man United star’s reputation as the world’s best on the line.
Cristiano Ronaldo has taken more shots without scoring (23) than any other player in Europe's Top 5 Leagues this season.
10 more than the next player. ? pic.twitter.com/UmVOZdDgvw

Did you think that @GervinhOfficial would have more #SerieA goals than Cristiano by now? If you did, give yourself a pat on the back. #Parma are level against #Juve. #PUREFOOTBALL pic.twitter.com/rpVOcnVXej

Ronaldo should look to return to his prolific ways before the Champions League returns later in the month – with no time for failure when facing some of Europe’s elite sides.
