Medhi Benatia claims ‘only Juventus can stop Juventus’ and that Leonardo Bonucci is a ‘very important’ player for the club.
Benatia partnered Bonucci in Juve’s defence during their 3-0 win against Young Boys in the Champions League on Tuesday, which extended the Bianconeri’s 100 percent start to the season.
“In the Champions League it’s always difficult, we faced a physical team, but with our goal everything became easier,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

“In the Champions League it’s always difficult, we faced a physical team, but with our goal everything became easier,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“We respected our opponents, played aggressively and didn’t concede a goal. My performance isn’t what’s important, but not conceding a goal gives you security.
“I think I did my bit. I was in the game and I tried to close all the spaces. Who can stop us? Only ourselves.
“We have a lot of quality and the team are better than they were last season, but we mustn’t think that any games are already won.
“We have many objectives and if we want to go all the way, we shouldn’t think we’ve already won.
“How important is Bonucci? We know his quality. When he has the ball at his feet, he always tries to make the difference with his passes. For us he’s very important.”
