Cristiano Ronaldo says he has achieved what he set out to do with Juventus in Italy amid continued doubts about his future.
The Portugal captain who joined Juve from Real Madrid in 2018, has a year left on his contract.
Ronaldo has won two Serie A titles, the Coppa Italia and two Italian Super Cups but Juve failed to win the league this season for the first time since 2011 and have not won the UEFA Champions League, which is Ronaldo’s ultimate aim.
He said: “I have to value everything we achieved this season at Juventus, both in collective and individual terms.”
During his three years in Italy, Ronaldo has also been named Serie A footballer of the year twice and was the competition’s top scorer in the season that just concluded.
In an Instagram post, he added: “The Italian Super Cup, the Italian Cup and the Serie A Top Scorer trophy fill me with happiness, mainly due to the difficulty they carry with them, in a country where nothing is easy to win.

“With these achievements, I reached a goal that I had set myself since the first day I arrived in Italy: to win the Championship, the Cup and the Super Cup, and also to be Best Player and Top Scorer in this great football country.”
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward has won major individual and team honours with all his clubs in the three countries.
“Nothing compares to the feeling of knowing that I’ve left my mark in the countries where I’ve played,” he added.
This season, he scored his 100th goal for Juventus, having also passed the milestone at Real Madrid, where he scored 450 times, and United, where he had 118 goals.
He also passed 760 career goals, making him one of the highest goalscorers of all time.
Juventus secured a Champions League spot on Sunday, having seen their run of nine consecutive Serie A league titles ended by Inter Milan who were triumphant with a couple of games to spare.
