“The last time we met Sassuolo it was a fundamental match, as from that moment onwards we returned to being the real Juventus,” the defender told Mediaset Premium.

"We have to thank that game and that defeat, as it allowed us to become reborn."

The Bianconeri were beaten 1-0 on October 28 and that is their last Serie A defeat, having climbed to the top of the table.

“Now there are 10 Finals ahead of us and we have the utmost respect for all our opponents, including a really impressive team like Sassuolo.”

Juventus rest Stephan Lichtsteiner, Paul Pogba and Patrice Evra for Wednesday’s Champions League trip to Bayern Munich.

“It’s going to be difficult, but we need the three points and in order to earn them we must focus only on this, nothing more,” warned Bonucci.
