TURIN: Juventus hotshot striker Cristiano Ronaldo saw his dreams of winning the golden boot end on Saturday after it was announced that he won't take part in the team's final Serie A match.

Recently-crowned league champions Juventus will take on Roma in their final clash of the season and the Turin giants announced the squad on their social media handle, which didn't include Ronaldo.

This means Ronaldo will end the season with 31 goals, four behind Lazio's Ciro Immobile, who has a chance to extend his lead in his team's final league game against Napoli.

Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri had already hinted at resting Ronaldo for the final league clash with an eye on their Round of 16 Champions League second leg clash against Lyon. IANS
