Ronaldo joined Juventus from Real Madrid in July following nine goal and trophy-laden seasons at the Bernabeu. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner played an instrumental role in Real winning four Champions League titles in the past five years. And the Portugal international is seen as the missing piece of the jigsaw as Juventus seek to translate domestic dominance into European glory. Juventus last won the Champions League in 1996 and have since tasted defeat in five finals, including being beaten by Real in Cardiff in 2017.

Sneijder, who won the tournament with Inter Milan in 2010, has now predicted Ronaldo will not be the man to end Juventus’ wait. "No, I don’t think so," Sneijder told beIN SPORTS, when asked if Massimiliano Allegri’s men will win the Champions League in the wake of Ronaldo’s arrival in Turin. "I don’t think so it’s not about one player you know, of course in the past years Juventus did a great job in the Champions League. "But it’s not about one player who is going to change everything, that its going to change that much that you are going to win the Champions League.

"There are tougher teams than Juventus. "For the league, okay it would surprise me if they don’t win the league but the Champions League I think you need more for that." Ronaldo made his competitive debut for Juventus in Saturday’s come-from-behind 3-2 win over Chievo. And Sneijder is backing the 33-year-old to make his mark once he gets up to speed at the Allianz Stadium. "I think he won’t struggle in Italy at all," Sneijder added.

"He has the quality and he is a professional so he will adapt soon, I am convinced of that. "There is no way that Cristiano to not succeed in Italy. "It’s a different competition than the Spanish league, but it’s all about adaptation if he can adapt quick it will be easy for him. "He will make something very good there." Sneijder left Real for Inter in the summer of 2009 as Ronaldo joined the Spanish giants as part of a big-money squad overhaul.
