Napoli clinched their first piece of silverware since 2014 thanks to Wednesday's triumph in Rome, where Gennaro Gattuso's men prevailed 4-2 on penalties following a goalless draw.

A five-time Ballon d'Or winner, Ronaldo has claimed 27 club titles throughout his career with Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juve – including five Champions League crowns.

However, the 35-year-old – also a Euro 2016 and Nations League winner with Portugal – experienced back-to-back final defeats in a career first, after Juve also lost the Supercoppa Italiana against Lazio in December.

Ronaldo has scored 25 goals across all competitions for Serie A champions Juve this season.

Serie A leaders Juve will restart their 2019-20 league season away to Bologna on Monday following the coronavirus pandemic.

Maurizio Sarri's Juve are a point clear of Italian rivals Lazio through 26 matches.
