'Ronaldo is in extraordinary condition' - Sarri hails Juve hitman after latest goal haul

Maurizio Sarri is delighted with "extraordinary" Cristiano Ronaldo and with Juventus' form, but acknowledges the team must be better than in seasons past if they are to again retain their Serie A title.

The Bianconeri defeated Roma 3-1 in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals on Wednesday, scoring through Ronaldo, Rodrigo Bentancur and Leonardo Bonucci before half-time.
