'Ronaldo scores as easily as he drinks water'

Cristiano Ronaldo has impressed in his early Juventus career, scoring seven goals in 13 games in all competitions and ahead of his side’s Champions League duel against his former side Manchester United, Paul Pogba said that the Portuguese found scoring as easy as drinking water.

Pogba, who left Juventus for Manchester United said that his former side did well to sign Ronaldo.

"I thought it was a really good thing for Juventus [to sign Ronaldo]. Obviously it's always good to have players like Cristiano in your team," he said.

"Playing alongside great players like Ronaldo, like [Lionel] Messi and like Neymar is always a pleasure. Today he is with Juventus.

"I think he is very happy to be here and I think it's a great thing for Juventus to have a player who scores as easily as he drinks water."

Ronaldo, the top-scorer in the last six editions of the Champions League is yet to find the net in Europe’s elite competition and will be looking to score his first of the season when Juventus take on Manchester United tonight. Juventus enter the clash in Turin five full points clear of Pogba and United in Champions League Group H, having won all three of their matches while United have managed just a win and a draw in their fixtures.

Juventus won the earlier encounter between the two teams in this season’s Champions League via a Paulo Dybala goal.
