(Reuters) - One of European football's most formidable and long-standing defences was officially broken up on Thursday when AC Milan confirmed that they had completed the signing of Leonardo Bonucci from Juventus.

Bonucci had formed part of the so-called BBC defence at Juventus along with Andrea Barzaglio and Giorgio Chiellini. They had been together since 2010 and helped their club win the last six Serie A titles.
