Leonardo Bonucci called Cristiano Ronaldo “the best in the world” as his influence continues to grow at Juventus.

Ronaldo scored the opener against SPAL on Saturday, making it five goals in his last five games after a slow start.

The Bianconeri have now won 12 games from a possible 13 in Serie A this season and Bonucci believes the 33-year-old is a big reason for that.

“Juventus signed a great player in Cristiano Ronaldo,” he told Sky Italia. “He is the best in the world and a remarkable professional.

“Now the tour de force begins after international duty and all the way through to the winter break.

“It was fundamental for us to maintain the gap at the top of the table, and now we aim to qualify for the next Champions League round.”

Juventus now face a tricky run of fixtures, hosting Valencia in the Champions League before returning to domestic action against Fiorentina.
