Ronaldo did not get on the scoresheet as Juve triumphed 3-2 at Chievo in their Serie A opener, Federico Bernardeschi scoring the winner in stoppage time after the defending champions had earlier fallen 2-1 behind.

Mario Mandzukic thought he had won the game for Juventus, only for VAR to disallow the goal, after Ronaldo possibly handled and collided with goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino in the build-up.

And despite not grabbing a goal for himself on his bow for the Turin club, former Real Madrid star Ronaldo – who arrived in a €112-million deal last month – tweeted: ‘Happy with my first victory in a Juve shirt!’
