Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 750th career goal to help Juventus beat Dynamo Kyiv 3-0 and leave his team with a chance of securing top spot in its Champions League group. Ronaldo scored Juve’s second goal and also hit the bar after Federico Chiesa opened the scoring in the first half. Alvaro Morata completed the scoring.
Juventus remained second in Group G, three points behind Barcelona after the Catalan club won 3-0 at Ferencváros. Both clubs had already sealed qualification to Last 16 but a win for Juventus at
Barcelona in the final round next week could see the Bianconeri snatch top spot.

"I feel ready for the match at Barcelona, those were the easiest games to play in and I think they will be the same as a coach.
