Ronaldo important to Juve but it's a team sport - Bentancur

Cristiano Ronaldo is important for Juventus but the Serie A leaders can cope without him when he serves a Champions League suspension, says Rodrigo Bentancur.

Ronaldo inspired Juve to a 3-1 league defeat of Napoli on Saturday with a hand in all three goals against the side managed by his former Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti.

But the Portugal superstar will not be available to face Young Boys on Tuesday as he is serving a one-match ban following his dismissal against Valencia earlier this month.

Ronaldo was dismissed for an off-the-ball incident involving Jeison Murillo at Mestalla, but UEFA opted not to extend his ban so he is available for Group H clashes with former club Manchester United.
