Cristiano Ronaldo's former teammate at Juventus has opened up on the striker's time in Serie A.

Opening up about his time with the 39-year-old Al-Nassr striker, Mavididi said (via The Sun):

"Cristiano invented his position, he played wherever he wanted to play. It was crazy having him as a teammate.

"When he's on your team in training you're going to win- whether it's a small-sided game or crossing and finishing.

"But when you play against him it's a nightmare because he's just so good in every aspect of the game," he added.

During his time at Juventus, Ronaldo scored 101 goals and provided 22 assists in 134 appearances across all competitions.

Although he won the Serie A title twice, he was unable to secure the UEFA Champions League trophy during his tenure in Italy.
