That is the opinion of ex-Liverpool midfielder and Juve team-mate Emre Can.

Serial European winner Ronaldo has won the Champions League a record-breaking five times.

And in the last three seasons, under the guidance of club legend Zinedine Zidane, he spearheaded a formidable Real team to a record three-consecutive titles.

But with Ronaldo and Zidane departing the club last summer, European football fans expect the continent’s biggest trophy to end up in different hands this June.

Many are tipping Ronaldo’s new side and Italian giants Juve to come out on top this time.

And fellow new boy in Turin last summer, Can, admits he would love to lift the trophy alongside the Portuguese on June 1.

"It's nice to play with Ronaldo, everyone would like to have him in their team,” Can told Sky Italia.

"He's a champion on the pitch and a very nice guy off it, we all learn a lot from him.

"Last year I lost the Champions League final against him, this year I want to win it with him.”

After coming through a group also containing Manchester United, Juventus face Atletico Madrid in the Round of 16.

And Can admits he is expecting a tough two legs against the Spanish side.

However, the German insists there is a high level of expectation from the fans to succeed in Europe.

Can added: “Atletico Madrid? It will be very tough, they are one of the strongest opponents we could've gotten.

"They defend very well and it's difficult to play against them, but we are Juventus and we have to believe in ourselves. The fans can't wait for us to win the trophy.

"We also have the chance of winning the Scudetto (Serie A) for the eighth consecutive time, but it's always difficult to do so.

"There is a lot of hard work behind it all. The Scudetto is our first goal but obviously, there is also the Champions League.”
