Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci insists they're proving they can survive without Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo left Juve after three years in Turin for Manchester United in August.

Bonucci recalled: "Ronaldo made a decision that we respect.

"Last year the team played for him, now the squad need to recapture the Juve spirit that existed before his arrival.

"Last year, although we won two trophies, we did not win the Scudetto mainly because of our own demerits rather than the merits of those who won."
