Angel Di Maria makes views on Max Allegri clear as Juventus boss denies sack threat

The Portuguese side secured a 2-1 win in Turin to keep up their 100% record with Joao Mario and David Neres getting on the scoresheet. Milik had put the hosts ahead within five minutes, but was taken off with 20 minutes to go and replaced by Nicolo Fagioli.

Di Maria, who himself was introduced from the bench, confronted Milik at full-time and the cameras picked up the Argentine quizzing his teammate on why the manager brought him off. The reverse means Juventus' hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages are hanging by a thread.
