The fans shouldnt have jeered him but then again even if they do - Bonucci should have shown some class and not celebrate this goal
As for Bonucci coming back - I`d welcome him as I think Bonucci is exactly the type modern defenders should be
Back in the past you could put a defender who has no technical ability and it would have been enough
Nowadays yeah they still defend well but in order to be a better team you need technical players and speedy ones as well
Bonucci is the exact type of a modern center back
Also we might have calmed down with our defense but last year`s defense was certainly > this year`s defense

Bonucci prevents Juventus from setting new record
April 3, 2018 at 1:40 PM
Saturday's clash between Juventus and AC Milan offered some great football, as for once an away side at Allianz Stadium took charge of the game. Former Juventus man Bonucci added some extra spark to the game as he equalised in the 28th minute.
Unfortunately for Juventus, they failed to break their own record of minutes without conceding a goal (974), just because of Bonucci's header in the first half. In fact, Milan were the first team to score against Juventus in 959 minutes.
Ironically enough, Bonucci had to be the man for the job. The Italian defender revealed after the game that he didn't play on celebrating at first, but changed his mind once he heard the boos from the home crowd.
“I celebrated because of how I was welcomed. I was in doubt before the game but when I noticed I was booed I decided to celebrate”, the Italy International told Premium Sport.

And you know what happened? So it's all good?
People can react however they want to Bonucci and his potshots about Juventus and our coach and management. The nonsense about how Gattuso sets his team up "to win" and how he never wants to "play not to lose" again, and his celebration, sliding across the pitch on his knees in our stadium, and his demanding a transfer to a rival team in our league. He's easily done enough to annoy Juventus fans and elicit jeers and disparaging remarks.
If you think it's all fine and dandy, that's great. Nothing wrong with that. But others don't and there's nothing wrong with that either.
And of course Bonucci had to work hard to get where he is, but Juventus is the club that took a promising but terribly mistake-prone young CB and gave him the opportunity to play alongside fantastic defenders and in front of the greatest keeper of all-time, as well as under two of the best defensive-minded coaches in the game. It's pretty clear this club had a lot to do with his development into a world class player with quite the trophy cabinet. My opinion is that he should show a little more gratitude.

I don't mind him for celebrating, it simply confirmed what I thought of him, it's not a big deal per se. You can see the difference in class with Morata which was booed in the Bernabeu but sill didn't celebrate. The people that are mad were still hoping for him to redeem himself, it's fair game though although he has only himself to blame for the booing. We had players that went to Milan and still got respect
