Pirlo Believes CR7 Tilts UCL Balance in Favour of Juventus

Cristiano Ronado brings “something extra” to Juventus and is capable of securing them a Champions League crown, says Andrea Pirlo.

Pirlo said, “Cristiano Ronaldo can bring that something extra, which Juventus need. I’m happy that a great champion has joined Juve. Buying a player like him doesn’t win you the Champions League alone, but you get a lot closer to it. Ronaldo is a player who tilts balances, and he can help Juventus win the Champions League. He’s a top player, he’ll make the difference and we’ll see something beautiful.”

The Bianconeri have paid €100 million (£89m/$116m) for the 33-year-old.

Juve last won the Champions League in 1996.
