Ronaldo arrival does not change Juventus expectations – Allegri

Signing Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid does not have any impact on expectations for Juventus in the 2018-19 season, says Massimiliano Allegri.

Portugal captain Ronaldo joined Juve in a deal worth €112million, committing through to 2022 with the Serie A champions after ending a nine-year stay in the Spanish capital.

Ronaldo s arrival has largely been seen as an attempt to win the Champions League, the 33-year-old having helped Madrid to the title four times in the last five years.

The Italian giants were last kings of Europe back in 1996 and have lost in two of the last four finals, most recently when Ronaldo scored twice in Madrid s 4-1 success in Cardiff in 2017.

Allegri, though, denied that Juve s focus will be on Europe after the blockbuster signing of Ronaldo, who is yet to play for the club as he remains on holiday after the World Cup.

Our objectives are always the same we want to win all competitions, Allegri told reporters.

Ronaldo is here to help us contribute towards our objectives, whether they be Champions League or Serie A.
