"I'm delighted not just to have scored but also to have won my first trophy with Juventus. It's a good start to 2019, and this is something I really wanted. I'm happy. We have to keep it up now as we have lots more targets to achieve," Ronaldo said.

“I dedicate the goal to the team, my family, friends and everyone around the world who loves Juve and loves Cristiano."
