Juventus are an elite team, no doubt. But do they have the quality and motivation Real Madrid have? Ronaldo has been a constant performer for Madrid, due to reliable balls to pounce on. His Chemistry with Marcelo and Benzema has great benefited Real, and Ronaldo.

Juventus may try to replicate the chemistry, and may even be successful in it. However, the harsh truth is, Juventus isn't Real Madrid. Ronaldo’s transfer to a less famous league and a hard start to the UCL campaign could reduce his chances significantly. Moreover, even though Ronaldo is a great player, every player requires time to adapt. Will 5 months before the Ballon d’Or race be enough for Cristiano? Only time will tell.
