Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci denies clashing with teammates

Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci has denied reports of a bust-up with Paulo Dybala.

Bonucci insists “none of what was written, talked about or reconstructed is true" regarding his supposed slap on Juventus teammate Paulo Dybala in Cardiff.

The stopper posted to Facebook:

“With regards to what has been written over the last few days by some media sources regarding supposed rows and verbal clashes that might've involved me and other teammates, I think the time has come to make one thing very clear:

“None of what was written, talked about or reconstructed is true. There was no argument, let alone physical clashes regarding me or anyone else.

“The interval between the first and second halves of the UCL Final was an interval like many others where, I repeat, nothing happened.

“These are the only words I intend to say with regards to this situation and I hope they will be the last.

“In case they are not sufficient to clarify the situation and establish the truth, I will be ready to ask my lawyers to defend my good name and honourability."
