Juventus great Gigi Buffon says they lost their "team unity" during Cristiano Ronaldo's three seasons in Turin.

Buffon, now with Parma, believes Ronaldo changed the team's approach during his time with the club.

He told TUDN: "Juve had the chance to win the Champions League the first year he arrived, which was the year I was at Paris Saint-Germain, and I couldn't figure out what happened.

“When I returned, I worked with CR7 for two years and we did well together, but I think Juve lost that DNA of being a team.

“We reached the Champions League Final in 2017 because we were a side full of experience, but above all we were a single unit and there was this competition for places within the group that was very strong. We lost that with Ronaldo."
