If you’d told Juventus fans before the Champions League final that neither Dani Alves nor Leonardo Bonucci would still be at the club by mid-July, they’d have laughed at you.And if you’d told them Bonucci would end up signing for AC Milan, they’d have called for help.But that’s the reality of the situation. Alves is now a Paris Saint-Germain player while Bonucci completed his shock move to the San Siro last week.Replacing one of the defenders would have been hard enough, but both of them? Good luck, Massimiliano Allegri. You might need it.Perhaps the relationship between Allegri and Bonucci never truly recovered after the incident during Juventus’ Serie A fixture against Palermo back in February.Bonucci told his coach, per Goal, to “go to hell” after being told by his boss: "Shut up, di**head! F*** off!"

Rumour of Alves-Bonucci brawl in CL final

More recently, rumours surfaced on social media that Bonucci was involved in a furious bust-up with Alves during the Champions League final against Real Madrid.

Per Football Italia, who cite the unreliable Storie Romantiche, here’s what is alleged to have happened…

“I want to intervene to silence the rumours of an ugly atmosphere inside the Juve locker room,” Mario Mandzukic was quoted on spaziomilan.it. “It was simply Bonucci and Dani Alves to have created this chaos and, fortunately, with their sales everything will become calm again.

“They were the ones who had a row during the Final and it’s simply because they have diametrically opposed personalities. Leo and Dani would argue all the time and, on the day of the Final, we simply watched another of their many dramas.

“As soon as we got into the locker room, everyone had treated this like a normal game with just three points up for grabs, or at least that’s how it seemed. So we expected Dani Alves to do his usual routine of putting on the Radio Party Groove music in the locker room while we were getting changed.

“This time, though, he didn’t stop there. He went over the top, playing Samba Do Janeiro at full volume as if he wanted to break our eardrums and then started dancing like there was no tomorrow.

“I thought he was being stupid, but ignored him and went to my locker. Leo didn’t, as for him the Champions League was an obsession.

“He went up to Dani and said he’d break his legs in three seconds if he didn’t turn off that music. Obviously, a row erupted and it just kept going, until Dani Alves said that if he lost the Final, he’d still have three Champions League trophies in his locker, whereas Bonucci had none.

“At that point, everyone turned around scandalised. I’ve won the Champions League, but I’d never dare say something like that. We shouldn’t even have thought about the eventuality of defeat.

“Then Leo grabbed Dani by the throat and, as he was about to punch him, Max (Allegri) divided them and took a decision of a real leader: he said he didn’t care who started it, but at the end of the game they’d both get kicked out.

“It was the wisest decision ever made. Now, the group is calm and united again, without the annoying bragging of Leo and the usual Brazilian pain in the neck of Dani Alves, who would never let us just get changed and focus.”

Mandzukic denied the story on Twitter

Mandzukic categorically denied these were his comments via Twitter, in which he confirmed the quotes were fake.

Dani Alves reveals what really happened

Alves, meanwhile, confirmed on Twitter what really happened with Bonucci during the Champions League final.

“For your information, we were together suffering and commenting on the defeat until 6 in the morning,” the Brazilian full-back wrote, “do not [write] sh*t without knowing [what happened]”.

That’s that put to bed, then.

Bonucci thanked Juventus following Milan move

After leaving Juve, Bonucci wrote on social media: "Seven seasons have passed. Seven seasons of victories, of dreams realised, of growth that took place through an empathic and exceptional bond with Juve, in its absolute entirety.

"There remains a great regret for not having won the Champions League, but greater pride for the achievements and for having been part of a large family.

"I've always given everything, really, to the end. Today, looking back, I nonetheless see a splendid story, worthy of ending in full respect and affection, without affecting what I have lived together with the club, the captain, my team-mates and the fans.

"A beautiful story. Thanks for everything, Juve."
