  1. Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala can still work on improving their "incredible" partnership, according to Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri.
  2. The attacking duo have been directly involved in a combined 17 goals in Juve's 10 matches since June's restart, with Ronaldo positioned on the left and Dybala through the middle.
  3. Ronaldo linked up with Dybala for Juve's second goal in Monday's 2-1 win over Lazio, having earlier opened the scoring from the penalty spot to become the first player to net 50 times in the Premier League, LaLiga and Serie A.
  4. But while Sarri has been encouraged by their partnership up top, he believes there is even more to come from the pair.
  5. "It's evident we can play a lot better and have ample margin for improvement," Sarri said at a pre-match news conference on Wednesday when asked about Ronaldo and Dybala.
  6. "I don't see this difficulty in having top level players like Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala sharing the field, as they have already scored 51 goals between them in two seasons."
  7. As well as breaking another record with his double against Lazio, Ronaldo drew level with Ciro Immobile at the top of the Serie A scoring charts with 30 goals.
  8. But despting the title being within touching distance and the Champions League set to resume next month, Sarri sees no reason to give the Portugal international a breather.
  9. "I spoke to him 10 minutes ago and he said he's in great shape," Sarri said.
