Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to make his Juventus home debut against Lazio on Saturday, and Nike have marked the occasion by unveiling a huge ad marking his achievements.
The billboard covers an entire building in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, and while it states all that the Portuguese star has accomplished in his career, it ends with the message: “Now forget it all and start again.”
A packed house of 41,500 are expected to be in attendance for the debut, and no doubt Bianconeri supporters will be hoping more history will be made.
