Paulo Dybala believes he has been given freedom to play where he wants by Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri.
The Serie A leaders travel to play Atletico Madrid in the last-16 of the Champions League on Tuesday evening.
The Argentinian forward said: “I have learnt a great deal form him, particularly in terms of the way we work, how to be a model professional and being fully focused during training so that you know what to expect during games.
“Right from the first day that I arrived here, he’s always given be the freedom to go out, perform and play where I wanted to.
“I think that trust is very important and it’s a really good feeling when a player feels they’re part of what such a big club is trying to achieve.”
He said: “I compare him (Ronaldo) to Leo Messi, because everyone else does, and I think that they’re two exceptional players.
“You learn a great deal from players and people like them, both on and off the field.”
On Ronaldo, he added: “(He) is a laid-back and normal guy, like the rest of us.
“That helps make you feel comfortable when you’re in the presence of such a player.”
“We’ve got a great squad with some top professionals, who have gained a lot of experience over the course of these years.
“We’re clearly contenders, but we have to go out there and prove it.”
