Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo said Thursday that his “ spirit and ambition were as high as ever” as he strives to “ break records and conquer the world ” next season.
The Portuguese forward won his second ‘Scudetto ’ with Juventus, but despite his double against Lyon the Italian giants exited the Champions League to the French club in the last 16 .
“ As I’m getting ready for my third season as a ‘ Bianconero ’, my spirit and ambition are as high as ever,” the 35 -year -old wrote on Instagram .
“ Goals . Victories. Commitment . Dedication . Professionalism.
“ With all my strength and with the precious help from my teammates and all of the Juventus staff, we work once again to conquer Italy, Europe and the World ! Breaking records. ”
Former Italy and Juventus star Andrea Pirlo replaced Maurizio Sarri as coach with the team targeting a tenth consecutive league title in 2021 .
But the team ’s failure in the Champions League, which they last lifted in 1996 , was a low point for five -time winner Ronaldo, who signed from Real Madrid for 100 million euros in 2018 to help win the trophy .
“ Overcoming obstacles,” continued Ronaldo of his ambitions for next season which starts on September 19 .
“ Winning titles and achieving personal goals . To do more and better once and again.
“ To reach higher and to succeed in all challenges that may come our way. ”
“ We are Juventus ! We are the Champions ! We are back and stronger than ever ! We are counting on you ! All together ! Fino Alla Fine!”
Ronaldo achieved some landmarks last term becoming the first player to score 10 or more Champions League goals for three different clubs .
He was also the first player to score 50 or more goals in the Premier League , La Liga and Serie A , and the first to score 30 or more in a single season in three of Europe ’ s top five leagues .
Ronaldo matched another Serie A mark when he scored in 11 consecutive Serie A games , equalling the record of Gabriel Batistuta and Fabio Quagliarella .
In total he scored 37 goals in all competitions , a record for a Juventus player in a single campaign .
But he fell short in the Serie A scorers ’ chart with his 31 goals trailing Lazio ’s Ciro Immobile’ s 36
