Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Juventus earlier this summer meant more than just the Italian champions gaining a world class player. The ripples caused by this transfer can be seen in Serie A, in the transfer market and all around the world in what is being called ‘The Ronaldo Effect’. But how could one players transfer mean so much? Even with Ronaldo’s Red Card against Roma, how will his presence effect Juve in the Champions League?

Cristiano Ronaldo was not involved in any of Juventus’ three goals as Massimiliano Allegri’s men made a winning start.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juventus debut ended in a dramatic 3-2 victory at Chievo, though it was substitute Federico Bernardeschi who was the reigning Serie A champions’ stoppage-time hero.
Despite leading through Sami Khedira’s early strike, Mariusz Stepinski’s first-half header and Emanuele Giaccherini’s penalty after the break ensured Chievo led.
Mattia Bani’s own goal levelled matters with 15 minutes to go and Mario Mandzukic thought he had won the game for Juventus only for VAR to disallow the goal, with Ronaldo having possibly handled and collided with goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino in the build-up.
Yet Bernardeschi turned home Alex Sandro’s cross in the 93rd minute to give Ronaldo and Juve a winning start.
Three minute into Ronaldo’s bow Juve were 1-0 up, though it was another former Real Madrid man that got the goal.
Miralem Pjanic’s free-kick was reached by Giorgio Chiellini at the back post and his header was latched on by Khedira, who swivelled and fired home a half volley.
Ronaldo missed the target with two openings and Chievo struck back prior to the break when Stepinski peeled off Leonardo Bonucci and headed in an equaliser.
Juve then fell behind when one of their former players converted a 56th-minute penalty. Joao Cancelo, another Juve debutant, dived in on Giaccherini to concede the penalty and the midfielder took the spot-kick himself to put Chievo ahead.
Trailing in the game seemed to galvanise Ronaldo and, after heading straight at Sorrentino, he unleashed a terrific effort from range that the Chievo keeper had to palm away.
Only a brilliant last-ditch intervention from Fabrizio Cacciatore then denied Ronaldo, but his side did level when Bani put into his own net when trying to deal with Juve’s returning defender Bonucci at a neat-post corner.
A dramatic finish then unfolded as Juve were denied a Mandzukic goal that was initially awarded. Replays showed the ball struck the back of Ronaldo’s arm before he collided with Sorrentino, who was laid out when the ball looped up for Mandzukic to head home.
But Juve did net a winner as Bernardeschi scored past substitute goalkeeper Andrea Seculin, much to Ronaldo’s delight.
What does it mean: Ronaldo not up and running, but Juve show champions’ mentality
Ronaldo had scored in each of his last 10 league appearances for Madrid, but that was not a sequence that was extended to Serie A. Dropping deep at times and showing frustrating at not receiving the ball on other occasions, it will take time for the 33-year-old to find his place in this Juve team. The most pleasing thing from the Bianconeri’s point of view was that others stepped up and they found a way to win.
Pat on the back: Bernardeschi steals the limelight
Bernardeschi was called for immediately after Juve fell behind and having provided the corner from which they levelled, the winger was then in the right place at the right time to score the winner. In delivering when it mattered, he took a leaf straight out of Ronaldo’s book.
Boot up the backside: Cancelo’s debut to forget
Another of Juventus’ new signings Cancelo will not remember his first appearance too fondly. The first goal Juve conceded came via a cross from his flank and he then dived in needlessly to concede the penalty which saw Chievo go 2-1 up.
Key Opta stats:
– Juventus conceded at least two goals in the first Serie A matchday for the first time since 1998.
– Cristiano Ronaldo fired his first shot on target after 47 minutes and 22 seconds.
– Four of Federico Bernardeschi’s five Serie A goals with Juventus have been scored away from home.
What’s next?
Juventus face Lazio at home next, which means Ronaldo is set to play at the Allianz Stadium for the first time since he scored that overhead kick for Real Madrid in April. Chievo’s tough start to the season continues away at Fiorentina.

G.O.A.T?…
Patrocine my channel
Is gareth bale injured ??
I never watched serie A but cr7 is there so,I watch each and every cr7 match….
Cristiano shouldve costed more than the entire fkin league???
Never like before serieA in TV…india
Ive watched all matches and he js adapting well and playing well. This us his third league and he is performing even at 34. Truly a great footballer
CR7 will change the series A history
4:24 This statement is very incorrect. Many players leave the premier league for teams such as Dortmund, Bayern, Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Inter, Villarreal, AC Milan, etc.
We have the serie A now in Nigeria unlike before. CR7 base moved with him to Italy, his fanbase is loyal like that.
Left Real Madrid for Juventus cos of CR7 and I am going nowhere.
seriously this guy is a real deal the thing is that who was watching seria a…before he came seria a was a joke ….like before nobody was watching juventus vs frosinone and now whole world is watching and most importantly they should not fool around with him because he himself is a brand and bigger than a league like la liga and seria a…madrid was taking him for granted . but people actually turned their back on whole league nobody cares about his rivalry with messi and no fucks given to barca and forget elclasico
Juventus is playing in formation of 3 4 3 in attacks to give Ronaldo more opportunity to score and in defending they usually go 4 4 2 .
well, as a Pole i'm more interested in Polish flood in Serie A rather than Ronaldo himself, but then again, I'm glad he went to Italy, it made the league more intruiging
Are you fucking mad no interest in the Italian league wow well seeing as they don't show football on TV in England at all it's funny that the Italian league was the last lead to be shown and was getting extremely popular I couldn't have Italian league being shown on TV for free in England while charging us to watch our own football
I remember In the 90s Italian football was the most important league in the world
i didn't know serie a existed before ??i started watching this league Just because of cr7
This summary really glazes over the important and hard work Juventus did since 2011: putting an Agnelli back in charge, hiring Beppe Marotta (imo, the best DG in football), building their own stadium and state of the art training facility, and making shrewd and careful market maneuvers with players like Vidal, Pirlo, Khedira, Pogba, Tevez, Pjanic, and Higuain – to only name a few.
The rest of the league still has a very long way to go, but Juventus's management are the ones to credit here, not Ronaldo. In fact, all their hard work is what made Ronaldo's purchase even possible.
Sure, he has certainly added to juve's (and the league as a whole) appeal – but crediting the player is seeing the tree but missing the forest
CR7 THE BEST KING OF KINGS
THE MOURINHO EFFECT!
In the description it says "Ronaldo's red card against Roma". What?
Real Madrid made an awful deal with the Ronaldo transfer
juve fo r the championship
I want my 6minutes of life back
I'm going to take in and dissect everything you said, this video is pointless, and is dick riding ronaldo.
1- the first third of the video didn't have anything to do with Ronaldo, he was just stating facts about serie a, Ronaldo isn't going to change much about the facts that you stated.
2-there is alot of interest in serie a outside of Italy,my country (Libya) enjoys Italian football alot, it's very tactical and has some amazing moments, the Broadcasting deals have nothing to do with Ronaldo, the league pays money and they broadcast the league, it's as simple as that, nothing to do with Ronaldo.
3- 550,000 shirts saled is alot but comparing them to last year's sales is unfair, last year they barely had any debutants so of course they weren't going to sell much, social media followers doesn't really matter.
4- of course chievo Verona were going to up the price, it was there first game of the season and they were going to face a bigger side, that's the logical thing to do, it happens all the time.
5- of course the players are going to say they're happy to play with him, why wouldn't you, that's what you do when a popular player arrives at your club, it's normal logic.
6- bonucci and pogba were having a terrible time at their respective clubs that's why they wanted or still to go back to their previous club where they had success, pogba and bonucci returning to Juventus was a rumor before Ronaldo, higuain was slowly digressing in his output, he peaked at Napoli and slowly got worse after he left Napoli, so they sold him before his value plummeted.
7- Ronaldo would be terrible at the number ten role, o god o god please don't play him there, ever.
I love Seria A❤️????
