Nike issue Ronaldo enormous billboard challenge

Sportswear giants Nike have placed a giant billboard in Turin's Piazza Vittorio Veneto to mark Cristiano Ronaldo's home debut for Juventus.

Nike-sponsored Ronaldo will make his home debut for the Old Lady at Allianz Stadium this weekend against Lazio.

The former Real Madrid forward featured in round one of Serie A last week away to Chievo but failed to get on the scoresheet as Juventus won a tight battle 3-2.

In honour of the occasion, Nike have placed their huge billboard in Turin's Piazza Vittorio, covering an entire side of a building.

It has no images, but is covered in writing. It details the many records and achievements of the Portugal legend but concludes with the highlighted phrase: "Now forget it all and start again."
