Turin: Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo added yet another feather to his already illustrious cap as he has become the highest-scoring Portuguese player in Serie A history.

Ronaldo went past former Portuguese midfielder Rui Costa in this particular list following his penalty during Juventus' victory over Bologna.

Ronaldo has now scored 43 goals in 54 Serie A matches since his transfer to the Turin-based club in 2018 from Spanish giants Real Madrid. Costa had scored 42 goals in 339 games during his stint with Fiorentina and Milan in Italy's top-flight between 1996 to 2004. The record comes at a good time for Ronaldo as he was recently criticised following his indifferent performance in Juventus' Coppa Italia final defeat at the hands of Napoli. IANS
