Zlatan Ibrahimovic has insisted that Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer to Juventus is ‘not a challenge’.
Ronaldo is on record as describing his move to Juve as a challenge, but Ibrahimovic – while praising Juve for their coup – argued the Bianconeri were already a winning team.
“I didn’t say his transfer wasn’t great,” the LA Galaxy striker told DAZN.
“I said that it wasn’t a challenge to join Juventus. It’s not a challenge to go to one of the best teams in the world.
“Maybe it depends on what you mean by challenge. For me, a challenge is joining a team and taking them far. That’s a challenge.
“In any case it’s a great signing for Italian football because thanks to him, my second home of Serie A has grown.”
The former Milan, Inter and Sweden hitman was then asked who would win the Champions League.
“This year is very open,” added the 37-year-old.
“There isn’t a team who are better than all the others or a favourite. Maybe one of my old teams will win: PSG, Manchester United, Juve or Barcelona.
“Unfortunately Inter have been eliminated, while Milan aren’t there. There are four teams and I hope one of them win it.

Well it's a new challenge for Ronaldo.Juventus has been struggling in the champions league like Barca.Ronaldo can help juve overcome that struggle and can win the champions league.Juventus are the favourites for the UCL because of the addition of CR7.

WHY IS IT PAINFUL TO ZLATAN THAT CR7 IS IN SARIE A? 1 . breaking of records 2 He's better than him 3.He has more followers than him 4.He is by far more of a genius than him. 5 . CR7 single handedly disqualified Sweden from the 2018 Russian World Cup by scoring 3 goals in the playoffs. 6. CR7s fan across the World worship him . 7.He is more powerful n detrimental than him. 8.He has erased all his memory in Sarie A. 9. CR7 is more of a threat than any other player. 10 . CR7 is the only one who Zlatan fears n looks upto but finds it hard to admit. 11. so many things to mention, for now I end here.

ibrahimovic is absolutely right. moving to juventus is no challenge for Ronaldo because even without him juventus is a top club n ll remain so. few years back they reached the champions league final without Ronaldo n have been winning the league without him. Ronaldo has jus moved from one top club to another. moving to a struggling club would have been a challenge for him.
