Football news - Camoranesi: Cristiano Ronaldo is like Zidane; Juventus have already sealed title

The former Bianconeri winger believes the gap at the top of the table is already too large for anyone to overturn the leaders, who hold an eight-point gap over second-placed Napoli, even though the season has more than half of its matches remaining.

He told Goal: "[The title was] closed five matches ago.

"I want to understand how the Azzurri can recover eight points of disadvantage."

The major 'addition' that Camoranesi mentioned was Ronaldo, who signed for £105million over the summer from Real. And the 42-year-old believes that he could make all the difference in the Champions League as well.

"Ronaldo is an incredible player for the whole Serie A," he added. "The Bianconeri has not had such a decisive player on a world scale since Zinedine Zidane.

"He can certainly help Juventus get the quality they are missing in Europe. We are talking about a player who takes responsibility and doesn't burden his team-mates.

"It may be a good year [in Europe for Juve], as it could have been last year. Some direct competitors of Juventus are not performing very well - Bayern Munich are recovering confidence and Real Madrid are reassembling.

"The arrival of a competition specialist like Ronaldo can mean a lot."
