Fiorentina President Rocco Commisso was “disgusted” by the second penalty awarded to Juventus. “Referees cannot decide the games.”
The 3-0 result in Turin was decided by two Cristiano Ronaldo penalties – one more debatable than the other – and a Matthijs de Ligt header.
“I’ve been here for six months, I’ve never criticised the referees, but I say now that referees cannot decide the games,” President Commisso told DAZN.

“I am disgusted. Maybe the first was a penalty, but the second certainly was not. The referees cannot decide the games, they need to let the players do their work on the pitch.
“Juventus have a massive wage bill, they don’t need extra help. I am disgusted by what I saw today, but also last week with Genoa and then against Inter.
“I’ve never spoken like this, but let Juventus be stronger than us on the pitch, don’t make it easier for them this way. The lads are demoralised, poor lads, I feel bad for them. It simply was not a penalty.
“Juventus are such a strong team, let them play, let us play. We’ve had three games one after the other where there were bad decisions and the referee didn’t go to the VAR, this time they went twice to view it. We don’t deserve to be treated this way.”
