Former Juventus defender Medhi Benatia ‘felt betrayed’ by Max Allegri and saw ‘something strange’ in the Champions League exit to Real Madrid.

The 33-year-old Morocco international is currently playing for Al Duhail in Qatar after leaving the Bianconeri in January 2019, but he is still bitter about the way things ended.

“The week after the defeat to Napoli with that Kalidou Koulibaly goal was horrible for all Juve fans, but especially for me,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

Medhi Benatia has hit out at Max Allegri for ‘taking me for a ride’ at Juventus and warned Pep Guardiola ‘did not impress me’ with his man-management.

Benatia left Juve for Qatari side Al-Duhail in January 2019, having fallen out of favour under Allegri, and he accused the ex-Milan boss of making him ‘broken promises’.

“He’s a great coach and good person. I had no problems with him or anyone else. He simply made me broken promises,” the defender told Goal.com.

Former Juventus defender Medhi Benatia has praised both Merih Demiral and Matthijs de Ligt, predicting a great future for the defensive duo at the Allianz Stadium.

The Dutch starlet arrived at the Allianz Stadium last summer and has played 20 games in Serie A after replacing an injured Giorgio Chiellini in the defence.

“De Ligt has everything it takes to stay ten years in Turin,” Benatia told Tuttosport. “He is one of the best around and, since he arrived in Turin, he has developed in training next to many great champions.

Juventus are reportedly considering a shock deal to bring defender Medhi Benatia back from Qatari side Al-Duhail.

According to La Stampa, Juve have weighed up a possible return for Benatia as they seek a defender with his qualities.

The former Roma stopper spent two-and-a-half years in Turin, winning two Scudetti and reaching a Champions League Final.

However, he left for Qatar in January after a feud with then-Coach Max Allegri.

Medhi Benatia has revealed that he could return to Roma one day but questioned Juventus boss Max Allegri. “Maybe he had problems with me…”

Benatia left Juve for Qatari side Al-Duhail in January, having fallen down the pecking order after Leonardo Bonucci’s return, and he suggested Allegri’s man-management left much to be desired.

“Allegri is a very good Coach if you talk about his career,” the defender told Gazzetta dello Sport.

Ajax midfielder Hakim Ziyech has revealed that Medhi Benatia thinks the Dutch club can beat Juventus on Wednesday.

Ajax moved top of the Eredivisie at the weekend after PSV dropped points, but Ziyech made it clear the Champions League was his side’s priority.

“Right now we’re only focused on tomorrow’s game,” he said at a Press conference.

“We’ll see how it goes against Excelsior on Sunday, but right now we must concentrate on Juve.

“I hope Ronaldo plays. We want to challenge the best.”
