Ronaldo was rested by Andrea Pirlo during the Old Lady's disappointing 1-1 draw with Benevento in Serie A ahead of the clash with Dynamo.
And in the build-up to the Champions League game, legendary Romanian boss Lucescu said in a press conference:
"Ronaldo has charisma, he brings the whole team to life, he is one of those players who can make a difference. He is important for what he does on the pitch and for the confidence he gives to everyone,"
Lucesu also tipped Juve to land their first trophy since the 1996 season:
"The Old Lady are a great team, they can field two different equally strong teams. They have changed some things and they are perfecting some others, but I'm sure that it will enhance the talent of their players.
"I think that Juve have great playersnand can win the Champions League. Italian football is and will continue to be one of the most important in the world."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Cristiano Ronaldo did not accept exchanging shirts because he failed to score during their Champions League win over Ferencvaros two weeks ago, midfielder Marcel Heister claims.
The 35-year-old had just returned to action after testing positive for coronavirus and was desperate to get off the mark in this season's competition.
The Biaconeri defeated their Hungarian counterparts by 4-1 in Budapest as Alvaro Morata grabbed a brace while Paulo Dybala and Lasha Dvali's own goal gave them the win.
