Juventus' Leonardo Bonucci: No bust-up at half-time in Champions League final

Reports in Italy have suggested the 30-year-old had a spat with Paulo Dybala and Andrea Barzagli during the interval in Cardiff on June 3.

Serie A champions Juventus were level at 1-1 at the break but went on to lose 4-1 as their hopes of winning the treble fell away in the second half.

However, Italy international Bonucci insists there was no half-time altercation at the Principality Stadium and has sought to clarify the situation.

A post on his official Facebook page read: "With regard to what has been written over the last few days by some press reports concerning alleged arguments and verbal clashes, which would have seen myself and others as protagonists, I think it is time to make one point.

"Nothing that has been written or narrated has truth. There was no dispute, no physical acts involving me or anyone else.

"The interval between the first and second half of the (Champions League) final was an interval like many others where, I repeat, nothing happened.

"These are the only words I have to say about this, and I hope they are the last."
