CR7 was known as a free kick specialist at Real Madrid and for Portugal, but he has never replicated that form in Turin.

In fact, the statistics show he has taken 72 direct free kicks in the Bianconeri jersey in all competition, but only one of them found the net.

That was in the Derby della Mole against Torino in July 2020, part of a 4-1 victory.

In total, Ronaldo has now taken 72 free kicks for Juventus, scoring just one, with circa two thirds going into the wall.

That means the Ballon d’Or winner has a success rate of just 1.4 per cent on free kicks for Juve.
