Gonzalo Higuain Was Casually Chilling On His Phone During Juventus vs AC Milan Last Night

Italian football returned after more than three months off last night but it seems as though Gonzalo Higuain wasn't all that interested.

Despite Cristiano Ronaldo missing a first-half penalty, Juventus beat AC Milan 1-0 at the Allianz Stadium to reach the Coppa Italia final.

And Higuain, who was injured and out of contention for the fixture, was seen checking his iPhone on more than one occasion while in the stands.

We all love a nice regular scroll through our social media but there's a time and a place.

He was understandably disappointed to not be playing after such a lengthy period without football but browsing his phone while the game was going on doesn't exactly send out a great message.

Ronaldo saw his penalty touched onto the post by Gianluigi Donnarumma 16 minutes into the game, and immediately after Milan's Ante Rebic was sent off for a wild Nigel De Jong-style kung-fu kick challenge on former Manchester City defender Danilo.

The game would finish goalless, with Maurizio Sarri's side progressing after a 1-1 draw away at the San Siro in the first leg back in February.

The Bianconeri will face either Napoli or Inter Milan in the final.
