I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it won't be the last goal Ronaldo scores for Juventus.
"I feel great. Everything is good, the test was good, people around the stadium, the fans, the people in the training ground are very nice with me".
Massimo Savelli from near Siena, some 450 kilometres to the south east, got up at 0600 to be in Villar Perosa for the first time in decades of supporting his team.
Ronaldo just put his side 3-0 up with one of the greatest goals in the history of the competition and as he wheeled away in celebration, numerous homefans rose to their feet and applauding a rival player out of respect for the brilliance he had just served up.
In 2017/18, Ronaldo was his usual dominant self in Europe as he smashed 15 goals to top the Champions League scoring charts and fired Real Madrid to continental glory for the third straight year.
Admittedly, he was playing against Juve's youth team in a pre-season friendly.

A recent survey revealed Liverpool were the Premier League's unluckiest club last season, with decisions costing them 12 points. We got the Champions League and that was a success, but we can only improve two more places without being champions.
"Maybe. Of course, it helps when you see the people like you, the supporters and club like you, the feeling is completely different".
Dybala then struck after Ronaldo's shot was blocked as Juve's first team filled their boots.
After the game, fans at the game, who had come in their numbers to catch a glimpse of their new number 7, flooded onto the pitch.
Juve made it 5-0 early in the second half through Claudio Marchisio, before the traditional pitch invasion brought the game to a close in the 70th minute.
Juventus kick off their Serie A title defence at Chievo next Saturday and all eyes will be on Cristiano Ronaldo to see if he can replicate his incredible La Liga goalscoring form in Serie A. Spoiler, he probably can. Ronaldo tries to keep the ball up for his teammate but mis-controls the ball leaving him red-faced and his opponents in stitches.
Ronaldo, who joined the Serie A champions last month in a deal worth a £100million, made the flawless start to life in Turin.
