Ronaldo tilts Champions League balance in favour of Juventus - Pirlo

Cristiano Ronado brings “something extra” to Juventus and is capable of securing them a Champions League crown, says Andrea Pirlo.

The Bianconeri pulled off a stunning transfer coup this summer when luring the five-time Ballon d’Or winner away from Real Madrid.

They have paid €100 million (£89m/$116m) for a 33-year-old, but Ronaldo has been showing no sign of slowing down as he continues to raise the bar of individual brilliance.

He has previously been a title winner and European champion in England and Spain with Manchester United and Madrid, and Pirlo expects the Portuguese to remain on the trophy trail in Italy.
