The Old Lady were made to work hard by their opponent, but a pair of goals from the Portuguese star ensured the champions claimed an 'important' win
Cristiano Ronaldo acknowledged the importance of Juventus winning against Parma after seeing Serie A title rivals Inter draw at Lecce earlier on Sunday.
Ronaldo scored both goals in a 2-1 home win for the Bianconeri, who moved four points clear of Inter after Antonio Conte's men were held 1-1 earlier in the day.
Talismanic forward Ronaldo was in typically inspirational form, but he valued the victory above his personal heroics.
