'His fun is winning the game' - Allegri compares Ronaldo to Ibrahimovic

Cristiano Ronaldo has been likened to Zlatan Ibrahimovic by Massimiliano Allegri, who hailed the Juventus superstar's relentless hunger.

After swapping Real Madrid for Juventus ahead of the 2018-19 campaign, five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo added the Serie A and Supercoppa Italiana to his growing list of honours this season.

Ronaldo won three successive Champions League titles and four during his time in Madrid, where the Portugal international also claimed two La Liga trophies among other achievements.

The 34-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down in Turin, scoring 21 Serie A goals and 28 in all competitions for Juventus as head coach Allegri compared the evergreen veteran to Ibrahimovic – who he worked with at AC Milan.
