The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is still searching for his first Serie A goal, as he was once again upstaged by the Croat in a 2-1 win at Parma
Mario Mandzukic's future at Juventus was uncertain, even before Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Turin during the summer.

However, after his heroic performances leading the line for Croatia during the World Cup, Juve were delighted that Mandzukic decided to stay put.
