3 Things we learnt from Cristiano Ronaldo's home debut against Lazio

#2 Juventus place more emphasis on defence

Juve's legendary backline celebrating a goal last season

In most teams, the attacking players take the limelight and receive much of the credit. Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez are the headline acts for FC Barcelona and at PSG, the plaudits usually go to Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani.

When people think of Juventus, many think of the legendary backline that led the Old Lady for so many years, with players such as Gianluigi Buffon, Andrea Barzagli and Leo Bonucci now part of Juve folklore. Barzagli and Bonucci are still in the Serie A and despite Buffon's departure to PSG, the Italian champions look as secure as ever.

Madrid last season were all over the place at the back, as they conceded 44 goals in La Liga last year, double the total conceded by Juve in their campaign. Real Madrid also looked vulnerable during their Champions League winning campaign, especially against Bayern Munich and Juventus.

Although Marcelo and Dani Carvajal left gaps in the defence, they provided great service for Ronaldo in the penalty area. Joao Cancelo did provide the assist for Mario Mandzukic's goal but will certainly be told to stay further back by Juve's more pragmatic manager Massimiliano Allegri.

Juve's midfield certainly boasts a lot of talent in Blaise Matuidi, Miralem Pjanic and Sami Khedira, but does not have the creativity and passing range of Real Madrid's midfield which could make goals harder to come by for Ronaldo.
