Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri has termed Cristiano Ronaldo as a superior player following the club’s 2-0 Champions League over Bayer Leverkusen on the road.

Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain has hailed the qualities of Lautaro Martinez and believes his compatriot could have an extraordinary career ahead.

Juventus embark on another Serie A season with minimum expectations asking to reclaim the title they’ve been winning for the past eight years. The Bianconeri have been untouchable in Italy over the years and start their new campaign against lowly side Parma.

Unlike the rest of the major European leagues, the Serie A is taking its hefty time in getting ready to get the action started later than usual.
