Ramsey reveals Ronaldo played key role in helping him settle in at Juventus

Aaron Ramsey has revealed how five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo helped him settle in at Juventus.

The Wales midfielder joined the Portuguese legend at the Serie A side following his free transfer from Arsenal last summer.

And Ramsey received a warm welcome from Ronaldo at his first training session with the Turin giants.

Ramsey, 29, told The Sun: 'He's a great person as well as an unbelievable player and one of the best in history.

'For example, the first time I had a training session at the club, I went into the canteen and he said, 'Come and sit by me'.

'We just started talking immediately and he made me feel at ease straight away as did the rest of the team.

'That's a little insight into the sort of guy he is. I don't need to tell you about his footballing ability or the records he has but I can tell you that he's a great guy, he loves his team-mates and he gives everything in training.'

Ramsey has his sights set on lifting his first title with leaders JUve when the Serie A campaign resumes after the coronaviris lockdown.

But Ramsey, who started his career at Cardiff, has opened the door to returning to the Welsh capital after life in Turin.

Ramsey added on his own Instagram Live: 'Cardiff will always hold a special place in my heart. Who knows what the future may hold? So yes, why not?

'I grew up and started my career there and they helped me become a professional footballer so why not?'
