Yesterday night's clash at the Stadio Artemio Franchi was riddled with controversy surrounding the VAR but Juventus picked up a vital 2-0 win in the process. While Gonzalo Higuain scored the first goal, it was Bernardeschi himself who found the back of the net with a free-kick against his former club at his former home turf.
In an interview with Sky Sports after scoring the goal, the Italian star took a swipe at La Viola fans as the way he had celebrated after scoring wasn't taken too well by them. The 23-year-old said: "A professional makes choices and has to pursue them in the direction he feels is right."
"Obviously there are those who will be in favor and those who will be against. I think certain reactions ought to be avoided, that's a part of football."
Bernardeschi also said: "I am a Juventus player and I respect my fans. I did nothing outlandish and showed respect to everyone."
