Capello 'expects great things from Ronaldo' against Milan

Fabio Capello expects Cristiano Ronaldo to light up Juventus' clash with AC Milan in Serie A this weekend.

The two old Italian giants meet on Sunday evening after undergoing different starts to the 2018-19 campaign.

Juve are top of the league and unbeaten, winning 10 games and drawing one, while Milan are fourth, having won six games and lost two, as well as drawing three, of their opening 11 matches.

Ronaldo has played a major role in Juve's success thus far, scoring seven goals and providing five assists in just 10 outings, and Capello, who has played for and managed both sides, expects the Portuguese to make a major impact on the encounter.
