If you watched the Juventus partnership trailer for FIFA 17 you could see the addition of the famous DAB celebration performed by Pogba and Dybala but if you paid more attention you could also notice Bonucci’s finger spin celebration being recorded as well.

Talking about Spanish stadiums, Konami announced that this year they will have the exclusive rights over Camp Nou in PES 2017, so there are slim to no chances in seeing it in FIFA 17:

Another agreement that Konami reached with Barcelona, is for the exclusive image rights of over 20 club legends like Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Puyol or Cruyff, so we can forget seeing them as legends in FUT 17:
