Cristiano Ronaldo's start of the season hasn't been what fans expected, but even so, he has already contributed with an assist to Juventus' 2-0 win against Lazio.
The main problem for CR7 was that he accomplished that assist after an eye-whopping open-goal miss. Mario Mandzukic saved a little of his team-mate's pride by sending the ball into the back of the net.

The Portuguese ace seems a bit desperate to find the net, as the following numbers show.

So, how much time will fans have to wait for CR7's first Serie A goal? Only time will tell...
