There was a scare as the players were stepping off the team bus, as someone threw a paper bomb in their general direction. It let off a loud bang, but did not do any damage.
“There was this paper bomb thrown at the team bus, but in all honesty it was just an act of hooliganism that has nothing to do with this match, which ought to represent an advert for football,” Marotta told Mediaset Premium.
“In any case, it is a very happy time for us, we have found consistency and that is important.
“It’s a very dangerous game, but we are Juventus and must honour first place. We have a highly competitive starting XI.”
Marotta was also asked about Pogba’s comments on Sky Sport Deutschland, in which he said he’d like to work with Bayern Munich manager Guardiola one day.
“He gave intelligent answers to some really obvious questions. He is happy with us.
"Could Guardiola do well at Juventus? I can't see five years into the future."
