MILAN (China Daily) - Juventus is enjoying its best start to a Serie A season and shows no sign of letting up ahead of an important week for the Italian champion.
Juventus hosts Manchester United in the Champions League on Wednesday before playing AC Milan at San Siro in Serie A on Sunday.
Cristiano Ronaldo may not have found the net for Juventus in Saturday's 3-1 win over Cagliari, but the Portugal international has helped his new club win 10 of its opening 11 league games.
The Bianconeri have 31 points from a possible 33, surpassing their previous record of 30 points from the first 11 games in the 2005-06 season.
Juventus equaled the record set by Roma in the 2013-14 season and Napoli in 2017-18, and it has only dropped points in a 1-1 draw at home to Genoa.
"The teams behind us - Napoli, Inter and AC Milan - aren't slowing down at all so we can't afford to let up ourselves," defender Medhi Benatia said Saturday.
