The Portuguese star headed home the only goal in the Supercoppa Italian on Wednesday, as Juve cruised to a 1-0 victory over rivals AC Milan.

It means the Bianconeri have won the competition eight times – the most ever – but Ronaldo was more excited by the fact it’s his first trophy with the club.

“I’m very happy,” he told Rai Sport after the match. “It’s what I wanted.

“I’ve won my first trophy with Juventus as we wanted to start 2019 on the right foot.

“It was a tough match, especially because of the heat. However we played well, and we created a lot of chances. I’m very happy to have scored the winning goal.”

Celebrations will be short lived however, as Ronaldo’s mind is already on Monday’s Serie A contest with Chievo.

“The league is Juve’s main goal,” he added. “There’s still a long way to go there however.

“We have to continue down this road.”
