Ronaldo's only mistake was joining Juventus, jokes Ancelotti

The Napoli boss was full of praise for his former star but suggested he picked the wrong team when he opted to make the move to Serie A

Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti believes Cristiano Ronaldo's presence in Serie A can restore the league to its former glory, but joked that the star's only mistake was joining Juventus.

The 33-year-old has already scored five goals and set up four in nine appearances in the Italian top flight despite a slow start following his summer switch from Real Madrid.

The Portuguese star has been tipped to help Juve end their long search for a Champions League crown and enhance the Turin side's hold on the domestic title.
