The Bianconeri were still smarting after a 2-0 home defeat to Barcelona, although they got back on track with Sunday’s 4-1 win away to Spezia.

Notably, they were only 1-1 until Ronaldo made his comeback off the bench from three weeks out with COVID-19 and he immediately bagged a brace.

Ronaldo makes his Champions League return today, as does defender Chiellini, with Alvaro Morata and Federico Chiesa, sending Dybala and Dejan Kulusevski to the bench.

Matthijs de Ligt and Alex Sandro are still injured, with Merih Demiral suspended following his red card against Barcelona.

It is also more of a 4-4-2 than the 3-4-1-2 Andrea Pirlo has adopted so far, even though it does mutate depending on possession.

Ferencvaros lost their opening European tie 5-1 at Barcelona, then fought back to draw 2-2 with Dynamo Kiev.

Despite that comeback, Aissa Laidouni and Franck Boli are again on the bench, in favour of David Siger and Isael.

Abraham Frimpong and Myrto Uzuni recover for a spot on the bench.

Ferencvaros: Dibusz; G Lovrencsics, Blazic, Dvali, Botka; Somalia, Kharatin, Siger; Zubkov, Isael, Nguen

Ferencvaros bench: Szecsi, Ori, Frimpong, Kovacevic, Mak, Baturina, Heister, Boli, Uzuni

Juventus: Szczesny; Cuadrado, Bonucci, Chiellini, Danilo; Ramsey, Arthur, Rabiot, Chiesa; Morata, Ronaldo

Juventus bench: Pinsoglio, Buffon, Dybala, McKennie, Bentancur, Bernardeschi, Frabotta, Portanova, Kulusevski, Riccio
