The 35-year-old superstar was chasing Ciro Immobile from Lazio in the race to the most sensible scorer in the Italian league.
Immobile, 30, had a phenomenal year at the helm of the goals scored 35 goals in 36 games for Lazio to qualify for the Champions League.
Ronaldo has discovered the 31 times in 33 league games for the Juve champions.
There is one game left in the normal Serie A season, as the Italian festival ends this weekend.
But Ronaldo will NOT have to make up for it after being excluded from his team’s squad for his adjustment to Rome tonight.
Immobile will be shown as the only winner of the Serie A Golden Boot, but also the Golden Boot of Europe.
Even if Ronaldo had to go to the country, he would have needed a little miracle to claim the gong.
The former Real Madrid teamer had to score 4 goals home to have an even percentage of the prize.
His omission from the attack in the last round was probably done with an eye on the conclusion of the Champions League.
Juventus will receive Lyon in the first leg of the last 16 games on Friday.
Maurizio Sarri’s appearance will have to triumph over 1-0 if he wants to progress at the Allianz Stadium.
