Leonardo Bonucci has become one of the most recognized defenders in the world due to his performances at Juventus.
The Italian defender has been with the Bianconeri since he first joined them in 2010.
He had a brief spell with AC Milan in the 2017/2018 campaign before returning and has been in Turin ever since.
He has now racked up over 400 league appearances in his career and that puts him amongst a select group of players.
A report on Tuttomercatoweb claims that his appearance in Juventus’ 1-1 draw against Fiorentina means he now has 417 career Serie A appearances.
That figure makes him the 50th player with the most appearances in the competition, along with Alessandro Nesta and Sandro Mazzola.
Juve FC says
Bonucci is one of the best defenders to have played in Serie A and the number of games he has played shows how reliable he has been for much of his career.
He is still the first choice at Juve, and as Max Allegri relies on experienced players, it is very likely that he will play many more games while he is fit.
However, we need to start planning for life without him because his persistent fitness issues are a clear sign that he is getting too old to play at this level.
