Former Italy striker Antonio Cassano has branded Cristiano Ronaldo a Juventus flop.

Cassano insists Ronaldo doesn't fit in coach Andrea Pirlo's system.

He stated, “He has another year left in his contract, Juventus signed him to win the Champions League, but they have had worst results since he arrived. They would have won Serie A titles also without him. It was the wrong project.

“For 120 years, winning was the only thing that mattered at Juventus. It is still an obligation, but they tried to change their skin with Sarri and Andrea [Pirlo].

“Ronaldo has nothing to do with Pirlo's ideas. He will carry on scoring because he can do it even sitting. He cuts inside from the left and can destroy the goal and his headers are unique.

“Andrea wants to build the action from the back, he wants to press high on the pitch. Ronaldo can decide games, but he doesn't participate much. I think he did badly in these years unless they manage to win the Champions League."
