Leonardo Bonucci joked about his goal celebration tumble after Juventus beat Milan 3-1. “I practiced that!”
The defender scored the third goal of the game and fell head-first over the advertising hoardings.
“Oh yeah, we practiced that jump over the boards in training,” he laughed on Sky Sport Italia.

The defender scored the third goal of the game and fell head-first over the advertising hoardings.
“Oh yeah, we practiced that jump over the boards in training,” he laughed on Sky Sport Italia.
“We are usually a tank that doesn’t concede goals, but we were lucky tonight. When there’s a set play, the important thing is to be decisive on the ball. We worked through these moves in training.
“We hadn’t risked anything and conceded a goal we really could’ve avoided, even just giving the corner away. This is Juve: we fight back when it’s needed and bring out all our determination to win.
“There’s a long road ahead, we need to be concentrated and hungry for victory in every game in Serie A, the Champions League and Coppa Italia.”
Jeremy Menez went off in the first half, but Bonucci insists Giampaolo Pazzini was more difficult to deal with.
“Pazzini is tough to mark, as it’s always difficult when he runs at your shoulders and attacks the space. Menez needs more space to explore his creativity and doesn’t thrive as much under the pressure of a defender.”
