Ronaldo - who moved to Turin from Real Madrid for a fee of 99million - has won five European titles during his time with Manchester United and Los Blancos.

Juve are eyeing up their first Champions League crown since 1996 - but have finished as a runner-up in two out of the last four years.

And Allegri has revealed he is more determined than ever to win club football's most prestigious prize.

He told Sky Italia:"This year, our ambition to win the Champions League is greater than in previous years, as is the desire to win the league, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa, but nobody is going to gift us anything before we've won them.

"It's normal that Ronaldo brings quality and international experience. Above all, Ronaldo can motivate the younger lads to grow, and help the whole club to develop.

"Nobody gifted Real the four Champions Leagues he won there, it was down to everybody working and making sacrifices. We need to do the same.

"People had told me he's a consummate professional, but results don't come by chance. We're talking of a player who has won the Ballon d'Or five times and been top scorer many times.

"He always wants to win and this proves that Juventus have signed a great player, both on the field, but especially off it."

Ronaldo is vying to start against Chievo in the Serie A opener on Saturday, and he could be joined by Leonardo Bonucci in the starting XI.

Speaking of the defender, Allegri added: "He's an important player with experience and he's raised the technical level of our defence.

"Leo's been a Juventus player for seven years and now he's back and he's important for us. I'd say he's settled in already in the best possible way."
