Ante Rebic’s reaction to Milan‘s cancelled goal against Spezia is causing controversy on social media, with many Juventus fans arguing it wasn’t any better than Leonardo Bonucci’s touchline row last week.
The Croatian striker could not believe Junior Messias’ goal had been cancelled out by referee Marco Serra who had blown his whistle to give a free-kick to Milan seconds before the Brazilian found the back of the net.
He was so desperate that he held the referee’s face for a few seconds, going head to head with the 39-year-old who didn’t even book the Croatia international.
His reaction caused controversy on social media and, especially Juventus, fans have highlighted how Rebic’s action wasn’t too different from the one of Leonardo Bonucci.
The veteran Juventus defender was involved in a touchline row with Inter secretary Cristiano Mozzillo in the final minutes of a Supecoppa Italiana showdown last week between the Bianconeri and the Nerazzurri.
Many called for Bonucci’s ban, but the defender was only fined €10,000. Now Juventus fans expect Rebic to get at least the same treatment.
