In this thread I will compare Cristiano's participation on the pitch apart from goals and assists. The factors involved will be;
- Touches
- Carries
- Dribbling
- Build-up play
- Creativity
- Goal scoring
Touches will be divided into those in the Midfield and Final 3rd.

Touches will be divided into those in the Midfield and Final 3rd.
Let's start with his Touches;
Attacking third;
17/18: 19.1
Juve: 29.5
Midfield third;
17/18: 9.7
Juve: 21.2
Clearly Cristiano is much more involved in touching the ball at Juve than at Real, coming much deeper and being more involved.

Now onto his Carries:
Carries:
17/18: 23
Juve: 38.1
Yards progressed (carries):
17/18: 81.1
Juve: 138.2
Cristiano spends more time with the ball in his feet and progresses it up the field much better now too, making good use of his increased possession on the ball.

Dribbling;
Dribbles:
17/18: 0.79
Juve: 1.74
Players dribbled past:
17/19: 0.82
Juve: 1.80
Cristiano clearly has shown a massive improvement in his dribbling too. More than doubling the dribbles he completes and amount of players he dribbles past every 90 minutes.

His buildup play;
Yards progressed (passes):
17/18: 52.9
Juve: 84.2
Passes into final 3rd:
17/18: 0.85
Juve: 1.7
Cristiano's deeper positioning at Juve allows him to progress the ball into threatening areas more than he could at Real and he took full advantage of that.

Coming onto his creativity;
*SCA:
17/18: 3.89
Juve: 3.90
*PPA:
17/18: 0.72
Juve: 0.99
His Shot creating actions have been the exact same with minimal change between them, however Ronaldo's ability to pass the ball into the Penalty area has seen considerable improvement.

Finally, his lethal Goal scoring ability;
*xG performance:
17/18: 107%
Juve: 110%
xG p90:
17/18: 0.89
Juve: 0.82
Cristiano overperformed his xG slightly higher at Juve. However he has not received the same xG, due to being in a worse team and not having the same positioning.

In conclusion, contrary to popular belief, Cristiano Ronaldo has been a more complete and better player during his at Juventus than he was with his last season at Real. The main reason he does not score as many goals is as he plays in a team not as good and a sligtht decline.
*Notes:
All stats are p90
SCA= Shot creating actions
PPA= Passes into Penalty area
xG is only used for League as UCL xG statistics were not available in the 17/18 season
