Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci hailed goalscorer Cristiano Ronaldo after victory over SPAL.

Ronaldo and Mario Mandzukic struck for Juve in their 2-0 win.

“Now the tour de force begins after international duty and all the way through to the winter break. It was fundamental for us to at least maintain the gap at the top of the table, now we take on Young Boys and aim to qualify for the next Champions League round from Tuesday," the defender told Sky Sport Italia.

“Juve signed a great player in Cristiano Ronaldo, he's the best in the world and a remarkable professional."
