On Wednesday night Italian League Champions Juventus faced off against Coppa Italia winners Napoli in the Italian Super Cup or the Supercoppa.It turned out to be a historic night as Cristiano Ronaldo broke the record for most goals in professional matches as he slammed in his 760th Goal.
Though the likes of Brazilian Legends, Pele and Romario how have scored 1000+ goals in their career,some of them have scored in friendlies and amateur matches.Experts believe he has now surpassed the Great Josef Bican in scoring terms but FIFA says that Austria and Czechoslovakia great has scored '805' goals. We will leave it out to the experts and historians to sort this out.
After losing to Inter Milan on Sunday, Juventus needed to bounce back quickly. They has lost the last year Supercoppa by the score of 3-1 to Lazio.
With a goalless first half, the moment of Truth came in the 64th Penalty when Ronaldo smashed in from close range after a flick on to give them the lead. The former Sporting, Manchester United and Real Madrid striker had just created history by that strike.
Perhaps the greatest chance of the match came to Napoli and Lorenzo Insigne. He failed to convert from 12 yards in the 80th minute after Napoli were awarded a Penalty. That miss from him would come to haunt them later as Juventus made it 2-0 with just the last kick of the game as Morata was laid on through by Cuadrado and the Spanish International made no mistake to place it home from close range. This triumph was the 9th Supercoppa Title for Juventus.
