Dynamo Kiev boss Mircea Lucescu has likened Cristiano Ronaldo to all-time legend Diego Maradona and feels that new Juventus head coach Andrea Pirlo can reach the same heights as Zinedine Zidane or Pep Guardiola.
Lucescu's outfit will face the Italian heavyweights in their first group stage match of the 2020-21 Champions League, with Juve and Barcelona firm favourites to progress from Group G, which also includes Ferencvaros.
Facing off with the Serie A champions throws up the daunting prospect of having to defend against five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo and Lucescu admits that the former Real Madrid star's presence is concerning, while also showering the 35-year-old with praise.
