Juventus 1-1 Genoa: Cristiano Ronaldo becomes first player to hit 400 goals in Europe's top five leagues before Daniel Bassa rescues point for visitors

-


Cristiano Ronaldo sent an ominous reminder to former club Manchester United ahead of facing them on Tuesday in the Champions League but his goal proved in vain on Saturday evening as Juventus were held by Genoa.

Daniel Bassa rose highest midway through the second half to head past home goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny for the visitors and that cancelled out a close range opener from Ronaldo.

The £105million summer signing from Real Madrid escaped his marker inside the six-yard box to hit home after 19 minutes, becoming the first player to score 400 goals in Europe's top five leagues in the process.

Supratim Biswas former I am still studing.. 2w ago Thanks for A2A.. Cristiano Ronaldo is the new captain of Real Madrid There's no doubt that  Cristiano Ronaldo  is playing some of the best football of his career and as a reward, Real Madrid have handed him the captain's armband. In the absence of Alvaro Arbeloa, recently transferred to West Ham United, Los Blancos needed a fourth captain and the Portuguese has assumed the role. He joins Sergio Ramos, Pepe and Marcelo in the quartet 'responsible' for the first team. Ronaldo came to Madrid in the summer of 2009 and is beginning his eighth season in the all-white.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is ready for a busy summer transfer window. And according to the  Guardian , Lampard is eyeing another three signings as the Blues eye a Premier League title charge next season. Chelsea boss Lampard could sign Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell, West Ham's Declan Rice and Kai Havertz of Bayer Leverkusen Chilwell is Lampard's top target to slot in at left-back.

Chilwell's England team-mate Rice has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. The 21-year-old can play at centre-back or as a defensive midfielder. Rice's versatility is appealing to Lampard, who is considering a summer bid. Finally, is Bayer Leverkusen's Havertz. The Germany international would be Chelsea's most expensive summer signing if the playmaker heads to Stamford Bridge. The Blues could be forced t...

Liverpool make final Thiago transfer decision with Man Utd and Arsenal interested

Liverpool have been strongly linked with a move to sign Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich this summer. “We never had any contact with Liverpool. If he wants to go there, we will have to deal with it.” Liverpool have already hinted that they won't have much money to spend in the summer transfer window having pulled out of negotiations to sign top target Timo Werner. The Reds weren't prepared to meet Werner's release clause, hinting the coronavirus pandemic has left the club re-evaluating their finances ahead of the transfer window opening. With that in mind, Spanish football expert Guillem Balague doesn't think Liverpool would splash out £31m to sign Thiago this summer. Jurgen Klopp also has an abundance of midfield options with Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner and Naby Keita all fighting for a spot in the starting line-up. However, he adds that Thiago could be interested in a move to either  Manchester United  or  A...
