Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has claimed that the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo has given the club an injection of "excitement" ahead of the new season, adding that the Old Lady are more confident than ever that they will challenge for the Champions League this year.
The 51-year-old spoke to reporters after Juve's intra-squad friendly against their B team, which finished in a comfortable 5-0 win for the senior side. New arrival Ronaldo scored on his first appearance for the Bianconeri, with attention now switching to their Serie A curtain-raiser against Chievo Verona.
