He knew very well that in such a situation, a long pass was extremely risky and could easily be intercepted by the opponent.
After weighing it over and over, he only had one safe option left, which was to pass back to Chiellini.
Time was pressing, leaving him no room for hesitation, so he decisively passed the ball back to Chiellini on the left flank.
"Don't pass to me!"
Chiellini didn't even have time to shout before the ball flew toward him.
However, his call for help was still a step too late.
Bonucci was receiving the ball with his back turned, completely unable to see what was happening behind him, nor did he realize that on his side, Manchester City's right-back Navas had long been lurking like a leopard, marking Chiellini closely!
The Juventus players all turned to look at Chiellini in unison, and when they saw the scene before them, they couldn't help but exclaim in unison, "Oh no!"
