Cristiano Ronaldo has played with a lot of talented players in his illustrious career. At Juventus, it is only a matter of time before he finds his next partner in crime.
At both of his previous clubs, Manchester United and Real Madrid, he was able to form lethal partnerships in the final third with Wayne Rooney and Karim Benzema. He also formed close bonds with players like Rio Ferdinand and Marcelo.
He is yet to form that kind of partnership with any of his teammates in Italy. Over the last two and a half years, he has almost single-handedly delivered match-winning performances for the Old Lady.
While we wait for the next great partner in the series of impressive teammates he has had the fortune to share the dressing room with, let's take a look at the top 5 teammates of Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus.
#5 Rodrigo Bentancur
Surprisingly, the player who has shared the most pitch-time with Ronaldo during his ongoing spell with Juventus is midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur. The Uruguayan midfielder joined the Serie A giants one season before the five-time Ballon d'Or winner and has been a regular starter since under three different managers.
While he has not been able to find the back of the net in the league for the last two seasons, he did pick up eight assists last term. As of now, they have made 99 appearances together across all competitions and have combined for six goals so far.
Bentancur was the creator of Ronaldo's latest goal in the 36-year-old's 600th club appearance.
#4 Aaron Ramsey
Aaron Ramsey has not had a smooth start to his career at Juventus. He has been out of favor at the club and is yet to hit the form that had made him one of the key members of the Arsenal squad over the past nine seasons.
He joined Juventus one season after Cristiano Ronaldo and they have played 50 times together across all competitions. Despite that, they have combined for seven goals, with Ronaldo scoring four of them and Ramsey converting three from Ronaldo's passes.

#3 Juan Cuadrado
The on-pitch chemistry between Ronaldo and Marcelo at Real Madrid will go down as one of the best full-back winger partnerships of all-time. While there has not been a regular left-back to support Ronaldo at Juventus, Juan Cuadrado's aggressive play-style has suited his game well.
Though the Colombian wing-back usually plays on the right-flank, Ronaldo's fluid movement in the penalty area allows them to link up well in the final third. They have combined for nine goals so far, with Ronaldo scoring seven times and Cuadrado scoring twice from Ronaldo's assist.
Cuadrado had to give up the No.7 jersey when Ronaldo arrived in Turin but the 36-year-old has done a lot of justice to that jersey in the two and a half years since.
#2 Alvaro Morata
Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata have been reunited this season and after enjoying four seasons together at Real Madrid, they have really hit it off at Juventus this season.
In just their 23 games together, they have already scored more goals together than they had with the Spanish giants. With Paulo Dybala struggling with form and injuries this season, Ronaldo needed a reliable partner in the final third and Morata stepped up just at the right time.
While Ronaldo has done most of the heavy-lifting, having scored six of the seven goals, Morata has helped take some of the burden off of Ronaldo this term, having scored five times and bagging eight assists.
#1 Paulo Dybala
While Ronaldo may never have another strike partner like Wayne Rooney or Karim Benzema, he connected well with Paulo Dybala upon his arrival at the Allianz Stadium, though the spark has faded away recently.
While 12 goals from 85 games does not sound that great of an output, that is the best return Ronaldo has been able to generate from a partnership at Juventus. He has scored nine times while Dybala has found the back of the net three times from Ronaldo's passes.
We know that Ronaldo is a big-game player and will continue to deliver for the Bianconeri. But for the club to continue winning titles he needs a reliable teammate he can call upon going forward. Hopefully, Dybala or Morata will make for a great partner in the coming months.
