Cristiano Ronaldo makes Juventus a much bigger threat to win the Champions League this season, according to Luis Figo.
Ronaldo has made a fine start to his Juventus career following his €100 million (£88m/$114m) move from Real Madrid, scoring seven goals and adding four assists in 10 Serie A games this season.
That production has helped Juventus make a near-perfect start to their domestic campaign, with nine wins and a lone draw thus far.
