Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo says he treats Cristiano Ronaldo the same as any player.

Ronaldo struck both goals in Saturday's defeat of Cagliari.

Pirlo said, “I behave with him as I do with the others.

"I always try to be available, we are simple and serious people and we get along.

"I treat him in the same way I treat [Gianluca] Frabotta and [Manolo] Portanova who come from the U-23, that's how I am, that's what I used to do as a footballer."
