Cristiano Ronaldo scored the 600th goal of his club career to earn
Italian champions Juventus a 1-1 draw away to Inter Milan in the Serie A
on Saturday.
The Turin club wrapped up an eighth successive league title last
weekend but found themselves behind early on to a wonder-strike from
Inter midfielder Radja Nainggolan.
However, the Portuguese responded with a powerful finish in the second half to make it 20 league goals for the season.
The goal moved Ronaldo within two strikes of Serie A’s leading scorer, Fabio Quagliarella of Sampdoria, in the process.
Inter remain in third place on 62 points, four ahead of AS Roma who are below them.
Juventus, who dropped points for just the sixth time in 34 games this season, moved up to 88 points.
This fixture, known as the “Derby d’Italia’’, is one of the country’s fiercest rivalries.
The home fans taunted the visitors with a pre-match mosaic of
placards featuring the UEFA Champions League trophy alongside the words
‘Game Over’.
It was in reference to Juve’s quarter-final exit to Ajax Amsterdam in April.
The home support were left delighted just seven minutes in, when
Nainggolan latched onto Matteo Politano’s dipping pass and unleashed a
swerving volley from 25 yards out.
It flew past Juve goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
