Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo insists former club Manchester United remains the best in England.
This despite Liverpool topping the Premier League 16 points clear of Jose Mourinho's side.
“Juve are different to everyone else in many ways, even in the way they treat me," he told Corriere dello Sport.
“Small details make a big difference.
“However, I prefer to emphasise similarities. Manchester United, Real and Juve are the top teams in their respective countries, but here the roads are divided.
“Italian teams, for example, tend to defend more on the field, while things are much more relaxed away from football in Spain.
“In Italy, the concentration, dedication and commitment are greater. At the end of the day, the level is similar."
