#2. His current form
Even though Juventus have been one of the most consistent sides in the Champions League the past few years, there is no denying the fact that the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo gives them a huge chance of claiming the trophy this season.
Following his switch from Real Madrid to Turin during the summer, Ronaldo has been going from strength to strength as he continues with his standard-setting exploits in the Serie A. The attacker has recorded 19 goals and 10 assists to his name in the Italian top flight this term, helping the Bianconeri stay 15 points clear at the top of the table with just 10 games to go.
While he started slowly in the Champions League, the Portuguese returned to his obvious best last week, bagging an incredible hat-trick to help Juventus overturn a 2-goal deficit against Atletico Madrid and seal their place in the quarterfinals. With Ronaldo in such fantastic form, he is well-placed to lead the Bianconeri to European success this season.
