Ronaldo will find Serie A difficult compared to La Liga - Cafu

Cristiano Ronaldo will 'suffer a little' in his first Serie A campaign after making the big-money transfer to Juventus from Real Madrid, according to legendary Brazilian defender Cafu.

The Portuguese superstar failed to find the net in the Bianconeri's opening three league matches before securing a double against Sassuolo on September 16 to get off the mark.

Ronaldo has caught fire since his debut Juve goal, scoring three goals and setting up four in his last three league games - including a hat-trick of assists in the 3-1 win over Napoli on Saturday.

Cafu, who played 11 years in the Serie A with giants Roma and AC Milan, believes Ronaldo will find Italy difficult because of the league's strength compared to Spain's La Liga.
