Ronaldo scored twice against Parma to equal Omar Sivori. Sivori was indeed the last player to attain as many Serie A goals in a calendar year in 1961. Cristiano Ronaldo became only the fourth player to secure a minimum of 33 Serie A goals in a calendar year. He did this by scoring a brace in Juventus' 4-0 triumph over Parma.
The 35-year-old netted in each half. It was because of Juve who streamed to a conquest that moved them level on points with Inter. And one unmoored leader Milan. Both of them played their game in hand on Sunday.
Ronaldo equaled Omar Sivori, former Juventus forward's goal haul from 1961. It was the joint-third most in a single year behind Felice Borel i.e.41 in 1933 and Gunnar Nordahl i.e. 36 in 1950.
