Cristiano Ronaldo “isn’t doing what he has done in the past” according to Italy manager Roberto Mancini.

The 33-year-old currently leads the Serie A scoring charts with 19 goals, however he has managed just one in the Champions League this season.

However, while Mancini acknowledges his incredible scoring record, he insists the Ronaldo has lost some spark from previous years.

“Juventus against Atlético? They know it’ll be a difficult game,” he told Tiki Taka.

“There’s no magic formula for the comeback, but Juve are an experienced team and they came back against Real Madrid last season.

“Perhaps Ronaldo isn’t doing in the Champions League what he’s done in the past, but he’s always achieved important things.

“He’s doing well in Serie A. The league in Italy is as difficult as it is in England and a little less so in Spain, but for me he’s having a good season.”

Juventus travel to Napoli on March 3, before hosting Udinese on March 8.
