Only two games, and he wasn't 100% match fit in first game.
He'll obviously score less - avg Serie A team defends better/puts more men behind the ball, and we win big once/year, start closing out game and conserving energy after two-goal lead as is typical in Italy, so no stat padding for CR7 like with Real - but he'll score, and he'll peak in second half of the season as has been happening lately. Pretty sure that's what he trains for now.
Think he'll score 25-30 goals in the league which would still be amazing and Ronaldo like all things considered.

CR7 awarded 'back-heel assist'
By Football Italia staff
Cristiano Ronaldo failed to score against Lazio, but newspaper Tuttosport are being mocked for claiming he 'assisted’ a Juventus goal.
The Bianconeri won 2-0 in their first home game of the season on Saturday evening, with goals from Miralem Pjanic and Mario Mandzukic.
All eyes were on CR7 on his domestic debut in a Juve jersey and he was about to score a tap-in from three yards when he accidentally kicked it on to his other foot.
The ball ricocheted into the path of Mandzukic to fire in undisturbed.
However, the write-up in Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport described it as “a back-heel assist from Cristiano Ronaldo.”
This prompted some mockery online from both non-Juve fans and supporters of the Old Lady.
It didn’t seem to bother Ronaldo too much, as this morning he posted on Instagram that he was back in the gym less than 24 hours after the match.
The statistics back his confidence, because last season he needed four appearances before breaking his Liga duck with Real Madrid.

That's such superficial look at things. Juventus didn't loose finals because they weren't more offensive, they lost because they weren't good enough. If anything we were too offensive vs Barcelona, they scored 2/3 goals on counter attacks.
This new era of following is becoming cancerous. You can't watch a game in company w/o people jumping on the team that is not scoring 4 goals, creating 4x more chances and if they even dare sit back it's a blood bath.
In the last 15 years defensive coaches/tacticians/italians/coaches coming from italian school of thought have won so much more than offensive ones. Ancelotti has 3 CLs, Mourinho 2, Ferguson 1, Di Matteo 1, Zidane 3, defensive coaches won the WC and Euro, Conte and Valverde won their leagues, Simeone won 2 titles in a league with RM and Barca, Ranieri won the PL, Jardim doing fantastic work with Monaco, etc.
While Klopp lost in the final too, Pep is underachieving for years now compared to what he spends, Sarri's football couldn't get him a Coppa final, let alone a trophy, Pochettino couldn't win the PL vs Leicester and Chelsea that flopped hard the year before, etc.
Tactics >>>>>>>> attacking football always and forever
People need to stop pretending there's a magical solution to winning trophies, especially the CL.

SO you brought the best striker in the world with 5 ballon d'or + 5 UCL trophies by being a real killer in the field to do what exactly????
Now I get it, you design a game that doesn't suit him at all and it makes easier for rival to control him. Great thinking.
And you're just taking things out of context to support your point, Zizou a defensive coach?? yep, right... and Luis Enrique is also one???... Now you are gonna writte they only won cuz they have the best players well guess what, now we have him so we better let him just play at his best
I'm not saying we go EPL crazy but you need to have some creation in the field and yesterday there weren't anyone bar our FB's with the skills to provide CR7 great options in our starting 11
