Ronaldo levels up with Zlatan in battle of evergreen strikers

With a combined age of almost 75, you could forgive both Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic for at least showing signs of weariness, but the goals show no signs of drying up as the pair drive their teams to the top two spots in the standings.

Coming into Juve’s clash with Cagliari on Saturday, Ronaldo had just returned from three games with Portugal to make his fourth league start of the season.

In his last match for Juventus before the international break, Ronaldo had to be substituted with an ankle injury, and that was after he had to self-isolate due to COVID-19.

Even with those disruptions, though, the 35-year-old Ronaldo cannot be stopped, as Cagliari found out.

With Juventus struggling to get going in Turin and wasting several chances, Ronaldo netted a trademark opener, firing into the bottom corner after skipping inside twice before doubling.
