The Bianconeri found themselves trailing 2-0 at halftime, with Joao Pedro and Giovanni Simeone putting Cagliari in control. However, Ronaldo sparked a second-half resurgence, scoring twice within seven minutes to level the match. In the 62nd minute, Federico Chiesa swung in a cross from the left flank. Ronaldo met the ball with a perfectly timed header, sending it past the goalkeeper to make it 2-1. Just six minutes later, Ronaldo completed his brace, this time with a clinical finish inside the area after a pass from Adrien Rabiot. With the game hanging in the balance, Ronaldo produced another moment of brilliance in the 72nd minute. He collected a long ball from Rodrigo Bentancur, surged forward, and unleashed a powerful right-footed shot that flew into the top corner. The hat-trick was Ronaldo’s 58th in his club career, and his third for Juventus. It was also his second hat-trick in Serie A, having previously scored three against Cagliari in 2018. Juventus’ victory moved them back into second place in the Serie A standings, just three points behind leaders AC Milan. Ronaldo’s performance was a timely reminder of his enduring quality and the importance he still holds for the Turin giants. Coach Andrea Pirlo hailed Ronaldo’s impact on the team. “Cristiano is a champion,” said Pirlo. “He’s a player who can change the game at any moment. His hat-trick today was crucial for us, and it shows why he’s one of the best players in the world.” Ronaldo’s hat-trick heroics extended his impressive scoring record. He has now scored 27 goals in 25 Serie A appearances for Juventus, and 95 goals in 124 competitive games for the club.
