Juventus coach Max Allegri admits Cristiano Ronaldo has already lifted standards inside the locker room.

Juve meet Lazio later today.

Allegri said, “Just beating Chievo was enough. If we went 3-0 up after half an hour, it wouldn't have worked out well.

“Ronaldo always puts himself in contention. He's a true champion, who has built himself with work and sacrifice. He's a good example and he raises the bar here.

“Ronaldo will never be on the bench, right? No, it can happen."
