Randal Kolo Muani has made a record-breaking impact for Juventus following his January move.

The forward signed a loan deal until the end of the season with the Italian giants from Paris Saint-Germain.

Kolo Muani played just 453 minutes of football and made only two starts in Ligue 1 for PSG during the first half of the 2024/25 season.

Despite boss Luis Enrique remaining coy over the Frenchman's future, he became a transfer target during the winter window.

Premier League giants Manchester United and Tottenham had been linked with a loan deal before Juventus signed the 26-year-old.

And despite him being at the club for less than a month, Kolo Muani has already showcased his quality in Serie A.

He scored two goals in Juventus' 2-1 win over Como on Friday night to take his tally to five in just three appearances.

As a result, Kolo Muani is the first player to score this many goals in three Serie A outings since its format changed in the 1994/95 season.

The forward scored on his Juventus debut in a 2-1 defeat to Napoli before netting on two occasions against Empoli and then Como.

What makes this even more impressive is that Kolo Muani has enjoyed a stronger start in Serie A than Cristiano Ronaldo did.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner signed for Juventus in 2018 after a legendary nine-year stay at Real Madrid.

Ronaldo scored an incredible 101 goals in 134 appearances for them but failed to net in his opening three matches in Serie A.

His first goal came in his fourth outing in the Italian top flight, with his end of season league total sitting at 28.

Although Kolo Muani has found more success in Serie A, Ronaldo continues to be one of the best footballers on the planet.

The now 40-year-old also scored on Friday night as Al Nassr beat Al Feiha 3-0 in the Saudi Pro League.

Ronaldo is on 24 goals in 26 appearances for the season as he looks to add to his illustrious and extensive trophy collection.
