It all occurred a few minutes until the end, Leonardo Bonucci, who was changed, handed over the captain's armband to Gonzalo Higuain. When the Argentine was substituted, it was given to Cristiano Ronaldo.
But the Portuguese striker for Juventus did not want to keep the armband. Even though he is the leading player in the team, he looked for another senior player to give it to. In this case, he chose Matuidi.
When CR7 was heading to where Matuidi was, making clear the armband was for him, the crowd starting to applaud. It has been praised around Italy.
Also Matuidi himself, who thanked Ronaldo for the gesture on Twitter. "World class", the Frenchman said.
Juve won, Cristiano scored twice and he showed how much he likes his teammates. The perfect day.
