Andrea Pirlo says he was waiting for Cristiano Ronaldo to return to action for Juventus after he helped fire them to a 4-1 win at Spezia on Sunday.
Ronaldo had not featured for the Italian champions since late-September because he tested positive for Covid-19 while on international duty with Portugal.
The 35-year-old was named among the substitutes for the Serie A match against the newly-promoted side and was introduced 11 minutes into the second half, replacing Paulo Dybala.

Ronaldo needed just three minutes to find the net and restore his side's lead and then converted a penalty with 15 minutes remaining to round off the scoring.
