The remarkable level of continuity shown by Cristiano Ronaldo at the highest European football level is continuing, as the Portuguese scored his 20th goal this season for Juventus against Sassuolos on Sunday.

Ronaldo scored head-to-head in Juventus’ easy 3-0 win at MAPEI, helping the Bianconeri take him to 11 points in the top of the Serie A standings.

This means that the 34-year-old has registered at least 20 goals in all races in each of the last 13 seasons.

This is an extraordinary level of sustainability from the Portuguese who is not showing signs of slowdown.

The startling start of his life in Turin means he is likely to be in the race to win the Ballon d’Or for the sixth time, 11 years after winning the best player in the world.

The last time Ronaldo failed to score at least 20 goals in all races within a season was 2005-06 when he recorded 12 goals in his third season in Manchester United.
