Ronaldo as good as ever – Ancelotti
Ronaldo set up two and had a hand in the third as the champions came from behind to beat Napoli 3-1 on Saturday and move six points clear at the summit.
His influential performance continued a fine start to life with Juve that has been marred only be a red card on his Champions League debut for the club.
Three goals in seven Serie A appearances have otherwise demonstrated his enduring quality and Ancelotti, who oversaw the 33-year-old for two seasons in Madrid, believes his standards are as high as ever.
"I've seen the usual Ronaldo, a player very important for his side," Ancelotti said.
"He is constantly in the game and always a danger for opponents. He is always present in attack and, as I said before, he adds extra value to Serie A.
"It's a pleasure to watch him playing in Italy."

Defeat at Allianz Stadium was Napoli's second in eight competitive matches under Ancelotti.
The ex-Bianconeri boss received a frosty reception from the home fans that he insisted came as no concern.
"The chants were normal. I'll console myself with the 2003 Champions League trophy," the 59-year-old said, referencing his AC Milan side's triumph over Juve.
