He is eventually urged to calm down by teammates including Leonardo Bonucci, Paolo Dybala and Juan Cuadrado.
It’s not the first-time the fiery Argentine has lashed out at training. Last season while on loan at training he was seen shouting at coaches and some of his teammates before lashing a ball away in fury.

Juve travel to Atletico in a tricky opening fixture to their Champions League group campaign.
The pair met in the last 16 stage last season, when Cristiano Ronaldo’s second-leg hat-trick secured a memorable comeback win for the Serie A champions.
