Cristiano Ronaldo's 12 Consecutive Final Wins Stoppage
JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo has just suffered his first defeat in the final in seven years. This was suffered by the Portuguese superstar when Juventus lost 1-3 to Lazio in the Italian Super Cup, Sunday, December 22 night. Prior to the match which took place at the King Saud University Stadium, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo was unbeaten since 2013.
In that match, Lazio scored goals through Luis Alberto, Senad Lulic and Danilo Cataldi. Meanwhile, Juventus was only able to reply once through Paulo Dyala.
This result left a deep disappointment in Ronaldo. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner headed straight to the dressing room moments after receiving the silver medal. He didn't want to see his opponent's victory party.
The last time Ronaldo lost in a final was on May 17, 2013 when he was still defending Real Madrid. Los Blancos beat 1-2 against city rivals Atletico Madrid through extra time.
Between club and international level, Ronaldo held 12 consecutive victories in the top party until he was beaten by Lazio.
CR7 has played two finals with Juventus and won the first. In January this year, the former Manchester United player scored for his team against AC Milan 1-0, also in the Italian Super Cup
For Aquile, this victory is the second time in three seasons. Two years ago, they also beat the Bianconeri 3-2.
This is also Lazio's second win over Juventus in the last two weeks. Previously, Simone Inzaghi's men beat the Old Lady 3-1 in Serie A.
