You would think that, given the furore that surrounded his £75m move from Napoli to Juventus, last Summer that Gonzalo Higuain would have at least kept a low profile upon his return to the San Paolo with the 'Bianconeri', this past week.
Higuain returned with Juventus at the weekend but was unable to find the back of the net in a 1-1 draw.
The Argentine made his second appearance of the week back in Naples last night during the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals and, although he would finish on the losing side of a 3-2 scoreline (Juventus still progressed 5-4 on aggregate), the former Real Madrid man hit a brace and wasted no time in sending a message to Napoli President Angelo De Laurentiis.

Upon scoring his first goal, Higuain turned towards De Laurentiis, pointed and bellowed "It's your fault!" lying the blame for his £75m move to the Juventus Stadium solely at the feet of the Napoli chief.

The pair reportedly fell out due to the size the release clause in Higuain's contract. The pair's relationship would dissolve into a seemingly irreparable state and, armed with their Paul Pogba millions, Juventus decided to pounce.
Of course, the San Paolo faithful didn't go any easier on Higuain following his gesture and it's doubtful many of them will change their opinions of the 29-year-old, no matter how much he protests his innocence.
Higuain enjoyed three immensely prolific seasons in Naples, scoring 91 goals in just 146 appearances for 'Partenopei', including a remarkable 38 in his final season, 36 of which came in Serie A, a modern day record.
The £75m man has since scored 25 goals in 41 appearances during his debut season with 'The Old Lady' in Turin.
