(MENAFN - Khaleej Times) Cristiano Ronaldo returns to his native Portugal for the first time as a Juventus player as his side face Porto on Wednesday with the Italian giants fighting to keep up with Europe's most powerful clubs in the Champions League.
On the field Juve are still finding their feet under novice coach Andrea Pirlo but they crave European glory more than anything having lost five Champions League finals since last winning the trophy in 1996.
Off the pitch, meanwhile, their chairman Andrea Agnelli is one of the leading figures behind plans to reform the continent's elite club competition.
