'I don't know how Ronaldo lives away from the pitch' - Allegri backs Cristiano after latest goal

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri praised Cristiano Ronaldo for "working well" and scoring a "wonderful goal" in Saturday's 2-0 win over Udinese.

The Serie A champions won their 10th game in a row in all competitions thanks to first-half strikes from Rodrigo Bentancur and Ronaldo at the Dacia Arena.

It was the Portugal international's first appearance since he "firmly denied" an allegation of rape dating back to 2009 via a statement issued on Wednesday.

Allegri says the €112 million (£98m/$129m) signing from Real Madrid, who has scored four goals in his eight Serie A appearances, looks to be in encouraging form.
