'Cristiano motivates you to get the best out of yourself'

The defender rejoined Juventus just after 'CR7' made his high-profile switch to Serie A, and like Ronaldo struggled in his first few appearances of the season for the 'Old Lady'.

The Portuguese superstar has now re-found his goalscoring touch, notching four goals in his last five games, with Bonucci heaping praise on the former Real Madrid man's efforts.

"In a footballing sense, Ronaldo always motivates you. You see a 33 year old guy who has five Ballons D'Or and still gives 100% all the time. It's a thing to admire, and it makes you better too".

He was also asked about the rape allegations that have been made against Ronaldo by Kathryn Mayorga, saying that "As far as I've seen he's calm about it. That's a personal matter for him to address."
