Higuain was Juventus' record transfer before the arrival of Ronaldo and, in two seasons with the club, won two Serie A and Coppa Italia doubles. But, despite being forced to leave, he said he doesn't bear the club any ill feelings.
"Inside me, I had the feeling something was broken that day," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport when asked whether things took a downward turn after that final. "Then they signed Ronaldo.
"It wasn't my decision to leave. I gave everything for Juve. I won many trophies then, after Cristiano arrived, the club wanted to make a jump in quality and they told me that I couldn't stay and they were trying to find a solution."
"My feelings are that of affection because they really looked after me," the 30-year-old said. "Both teammates and fans gave me so much affection.
"But I did not ask to leave. Effectively, everyone says it: they kicked me out. At Milan, I immediately received a lot of love and that is how they convinced me [to join]."
