Leonardo Bonucci will be on a mission of revenge when he takes the field against Benfica tomorrow.
The defender was part of the Juventus team that faced Benfica in the Europa League in the 2013/2014 season.
Juve visited them in the first leg of the semi-final and lost 2-1, eventually drawing 0-0 in the reverse match at Allianz Stadium, as the Portuguese team advanced.
Juve are in the worst position this time because they have to beat the Portuguese team to have any chance of progressing to the next round of the Champions League.
A report on Il Bianconero reveals that Bonucci would walk onto the pitch eager to make sure he gave Benfica back the pain of that Europa League match.
Juve FC says
Even if we hadn’t lost against Benfica in 2014, this game is a must-win and every player in the Bianconeri team must be ready to give everything to achieve victory.
Benfica are one of the tough teams to play in Europe, but a full-strength Juve team can beat anyone.
This game is the kind of event where the players show their true character and we hope that all those selected start playing the game of their lives because it is one of the most important of their career.
