Juventus took good advantage of his direct pursuers Inter Milan II stumbling in front of Roma 2-2 on Sunday, and Atalanta the third in front of his host Verona 1-1 Saturday, so he raised his balance to 80 points, widening the difference between him and the first to eight points and between him and the second to nine points before four stages on end of the season.

We do a good job and we want to win the title."

Ronaldo, who is monitoring the record number of goals in one season and registered in the name of his colleague in the Argentine international team, Gonzalo Higuain, "These things come naturally and it does not worry me, as long as you try to shake the net, the records are incoming and you can reach and break them."

He concluded, "We must improve (before hosting the French Lyon in the second leg of the Champions League final), there are four games in the league and we cannot feel secure until we settle matters. We must continue in this path and the team is in good health."
