Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has spoken of his bust-up last season with Leonardo Bonucci.

Allegri axed the defender for their Champions League clash with Porto after Bonucci remonstrated with him on the pitch the previous game.

“At that particular moment it was the right thing to do," Allegri told Sky Italia.

“There are times when you should turn a blind eye and times when you have to have your eyes wide open and in that moment Leo was wrong.

“I was wrong too, and in fact I punished myself and Leo was left out. It was an important and decisive game and even if we'd lost we'd have had the strength to win 10 more.

“We played a good game against Porto and then after two days Bonucci came back, because he's an important player, an extraordinary player and above all he has to understand that he'll be the future leader of the Juventus dressing room."
