Ex-Juventus defender Benatia narrates how Allegri 'betrayed' him

Medhi Benatia has stated that he felt betrayed by former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri in the wake of some events that put the Moroccan in the spotlight.

The 33-year-old spent three years in Turin while Allegri was in charge and came under scrutiny in a 1-0 home defeat to Napoli on April 22, 2018, in which Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly scored a late goal to keep Napoli's title hopes alive.

Benatia was not used for the next game away to Inter Milan which Juve won 3-2 and sealed the Serie A title for a seventh consecutive time.
