Bonucci dropped after another Allegri dispute

Aside from the result on the pitch, the subject of conversation following Juventus's Champions League victory against Porto stemmed from a look of dejection on the face of Leonardo Bonucci, banished to the stands by coach Max Allegri.
The decision was made after a changing room bust-up between the pair at the end of Juve's victory at Palermo, and the drama intensified after Allegri had dismissed comments from the 29-year-old explaining his fatigue.
Threatening to resign if he was not allowed to remove Bonucci from the starting lineup against Porto, the Juventus hierarchy had no other option but to accede to the request.
Bonucci is now the sixth player with whom Allegri has publicly had problems with this season.
Cuadrado, Dybala, Lichtsteiner, Khedira and Mandzukic have all butted heads with the 49-year-old during the campaign yet despite the controversy, Juve can still set the record for consecutive Scudetti (6) and Coppa Italia (3).
Their hopes of Champions League glory are also still alive.
