Former Serie A referee Luca Marelli compared the penalty awarded to Inter‘s Lautaro Martinez during the Coppa Italia final win over Juventus to playing PlayStation.
With Juventus 2-1 ahead and just 10 minutes remaining, referee Paolo Valeri awarded Inter a penalty after Martinez went down after being sandwiched in the penalty area by Juve defenders Leonardo Bonucci and Matthijs de Ligt, which Hakan Calhanoglu dispatched.
“These are the types of penalties you simply should be not be awarding on the pitch,” he said on the Vaccaronni Twitch channel. “If the Lautaro one is a penalty then we are talking about PlayStation.”
Marelli also suggested Inter were lucky to finish the match with 11 players.
“[Marcelo] Brozovic was booked and after the whistle kicks the ball away,” he added. “At that point it should have been an automatic second yellow card.”
It was a night of high tension at the Stadio Olimpico with Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri sent from the stands for a furious reaction and later claimed he was kicked by someone on the Inter bench.
Inter were awarded a second penalty in extra time after De Ligt appeared to catch international team-mate Stefan de Vrij on the knee. Ivan Perisic stepped up to score his second and Inter’s fourth.
"Questi sono rigori che in campo non si devono più fischiare. Se quello su Lautaro è rigore allora stiamo parlando di playstation. Brozovic ammonito dopo il fischio calcia il pallone. Il secondo giallo a quel punto diventa automatico". @LucaMarelli72 live a @vaccaronni

from the time i saw that valeri did not send off brozovic i knew the ref would find a way to get inter back in the game. inter seems to be incharge of the VAR room because how martinez got that pk and vlahovic didnt. things to make you go hmmmm. same thing happened in that title deciding inter vs juve game a few weeks ago
Shhhh
You’ll wake up the Inter trolls who only want football to be ‘cleaned up’ in their favour.
As I said before, it was a good, entertaining match for neutrals but Juve fans will understandably feel hard done by. Ref could’ve easily sent Brozovic off and Martinez penalty was a definitely a dive. It’s really annoying how football players prefer to go down in the box instead of taking the shot. This will not change unless referees stop whistling for them. This was another example of VAR being useless.
As a neutral in this match it was really hard to say from the angle they showed whether the first pk was really a foul, seemed rather like lautaro initiated the contact to me, but would be necessary to see another angle. Second pk was one. Brozo really was lucky not to get sent off. Again, no anti-inter bias here, I thought they played below their usual standard but Perisic was on fire and overall Inter dominated after allegri’s switch of tactics.
Inter and referees, best love Story. But still crying about pjanjoc Red card joke of Fans and Club
in the penalty. did anyone notice deligt in the play stepping on his right foot? or does everyone just dream of their own scenarios to benefit their narrative?
Fxcking inter bribing their way through the season
@serie a lover6 what title deciding game? Milan and Napoli were also ahead of juve at that point. So it was never a title decider between juve and inter of who would win it. Hope that’s just a slip of the tongue and you didn’t actually believe that Juve would actually win it given how inconsistent and poor they have played all season.
It’s lovely to see all the Juve fangirls crying over bad ref calls LOL. Now you know how the entire league felt during your “dominance” era. Please, continue to cry. Here’s a bucket for your pathetic tears \____/
Samy, you support juve right? And yet complain about refs haha. Oh the irony. Not just the Pjanic red card there are multiple decisions that favoured juve through the years. In fact you stole the last Coppa from Atalanta just ask your fellow juventino Gasperini, and we all remember the Cuadrado dive. That Lautaro pen was more of a pk in comparison.
@Libero
Indeed. Contact was there.
Finally inter is smiling because they have
Mogi on payroll lol
Good luck inter but still you will stay bellow
@serie a lover6, are you sure the title deciding game wasn’t Inter‘s 2-1 loss against Milan? How about Inter’s 2-1 loss to Bologna a few weeks ago? Or how about Milan’s loss to Spezia after a referee blew the whistle when he should have played the advantage or failed to send a Spezia player off for a second yellow after a multitude of fouls? That one could decide the title as well. It’s always amazing when people claim one game out of 38 to be title deciding. Stop crying about VAR and referees because it makes me think of the Muntari ghost goal. Was that title deciding? Juventus fans should concentrate on their club’s transfer failures more than anything else. You paid 75m for a striker who sits in isolation. Cry for the Superleague or another cash “injection” (total flaunting of PFF rules), not referees.
Valeri was favoring Inter yesterday. Brozovic deserved a yellow for dissent in the first half, shouting in Valeri’s face. Got away with it. Then kicking the ball like that is DEFINITELY a second yellow. haven’t seen a single refereeing analyst on TV deny that so far.
Not a Juve or Inter fan. But have followed Serie A since I was a kid. It just amazes me how for years Juve always had the luck of the refs. Now they cry and whine and make excuses for every loss.
#allegriout
Brozo easily could have been sent off for kicking the ball, no question. The foul on Lautaro also was no question. He possesed the ball, was winding up for a curler, and was fouled twice from behind. Not even close…
Juve’s owe us a lot and they just gave only one back, and this is if the guy is correct, since I read many others pointed out that it was the correct decision! A
Juve owes a lot more, not only to Inter but many many other teams! So I enjoy this one while it lasts before they start to make a new contacts and pull more Moggi’s.
@ I miss Juve in serie B. Hmm… this is a kind admittance that everyone cheats in Serie A.
Referee’s intention to save Inter was visible from the Moon. He ran and immediately gave penalty to Inter an didn’t want to see the situation again because he would have changed the decision. Remember that there wasn’t much time, so that was Inter’s best chance to score. In the second situation, he didn’t give a penalty at first because he knew that he already helped them, but had to give second penalty because the second penalty was clear. What else to say? And would would have been if the decisions were on a opposite direction? People are still talking about Muntari’s goal from 1979.
And they say that we bribe the referees!
Inter are Saints?
Inter getting favours is nothing new
Kopuk
You are clueless as to how VAR works. There was a VAR check and they agreed with his decision, if so no need to call him over. Ref is called to the monitor if VAR disagree with his initial call only. And people still mention the Muntari goal because it was a huge scandal.
Just a few reminders
Season 17-18: juve steal the league from Napoli (famous Pjanic-Rafinha foul)
Season 19-20: juve steal the league from Inter (Inter robbed against Roma, Lazio, juve, Lecce, Parma and Cagliari, finished 1 point behind juve)
Season 20-21: juve steal 4th place from Napoli after a dive from Cuadrado against Inter.
I can go on and on…
So juventini are last to talk
