Juventus veteran Barzagli: A pleasure to train and play with Ronaldo

Juventus veteran Andrea Barzagli says they're a stronger team with Cristiano Ronaldo now in the line-up.

The former Real Madrid star is yet to score for his new club.

But Barzagli told RMC: "If it is a good year for the Champions League? We wish it, we are working on it. We have played two finals in recent years, we have strengthened by taking a player who knows how to win finals, but the Champions League is not a simple competition, it goes on and we have to be good at catching the moment.

"The fact that he has not scored, doesn't matter.

"For me it is a pleasure to train with him, a very professional player, and he is a person who transmits energy and a great desire for work."
