Juventus fans are protesting because of a potential penalty kick for a contact between Alessandro Bastoni and Denis Zakaria, which appears to be inside the box.
The Nerazzurri took all three points thanks to a penalty kick converted by Hakan Calhanoglu in the first half. The Turkey international had missed the first one, but the spot-kick had to be retaken after Matthijs de Ligt entered the box before Calhanoglu touched the ball. There was more controversy in the second half when Bastoni got into a tangle with Zakaria.
Massimiliano Irrati gave a free-kick, but it took a few minutes to take it as VAR spoke for many minutes with the referee trying to figure out whether the contact was inside our outside the box. They eventually confirmed the free-kick for Juventus, but images circulating on social media appear to show that Bastoni came into contact with the Juventus midfielder inside the box. Bastoni’s foot is on the line, which counts as he was inside the penalty area.
Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri refused to comment on the referee’s decisions after the match, preferring to discuss his team’s performance.

Figure it out the farmers league is a joke and has been so for decades. Another clue is Marotta and his direct line to the control room just like what happened to Torino. I just hope Milan can hold their nerve but knowing them they will mess up against Bologna or someone else down the line. As for Napoli I would bet money on them choking as they are not winning nada.
Lord Allegri great name. Too bad you don’t know anything about soccer or life or waffles. You clover leaf
I don’t like this. I thought we won 100% fair.
credit to allegri not discussing the referee. but juve got robbed
@serie a lover6 That’s how Allegri always was, not just today. He’s one of the few coaches who don’t whine about referees, fixture list, transfers etc.
@Doofus what is soccer, is that American women’s football?
Learn the game first and foremost as it is called football.
Also practice better grammar as you like to repeat “or”, “or”, “or” and put a full stop at the end of your sentence boy.
You added nothing but I guess being American you have to read the posts of other people to help get you up to speed with football. If you want to watch soccer, go watch MLS and your Chicago Fire.
A clover leaf is not an insult and do you know what it actually means?
the contact was very soft. never a pen. i should dig up the 800 photos of juve robbin other teams.
“the contact was very soft. never a pen” it was a foul and free kick you donkey 😀 and its a pen
Inter claim the previous juve title on media : referees favourite!!!!!!
Hope AC milan will claim the title or even napoli because the way they play and characteristic far more better and deserved than this inter.
if juve got penalty and denied by keeper then..what?
Amazing Barella looked good not like for Italy . These guys only care about thje garbage insignificant league no one cares for national team. Who cares about this stupid race we are out of the biggest competition in sport but ya let’s talk serie a
@mike 100% agreed who cares this years finito
Also the top 4 serie a teams could go into the Europa league and couldn’t win it , it’s a tough time for Italian sport, really tough
Rubentus better at photoshop than scoring goals, lol
Strange one – I’m thinking they have a camera angle directly in the lines that tv doesn’t have access to. Or I suspect the ref blew the whistle outside the box for a foul but wouldn’t have given a pen for it as it was soft, I’m not sure I even see a foul at all. You can use your body without giving away a foul, particularly when the attacker purposely dives as we see everyone doing these days. Inter played poorly – players like barella look exhausted.
Yes Mike I agree, the strange part is sometimes they even brag about it. Pirlo once wrote that going to the National team was like a vacation, going out with the boys drinking and partying. Who suffers from this-everybody.
To be honest, it is too soft to be a penalty kick. There is no chance that the incident like this is going to be a penalty in UCL.
maybe too soft to be a penalty but Inter penalty was as soft. Ref was too easy on red cards on Skrinjar with so many back pushing at Vlahovic and being too rough he deserved a red at any of these play, but the referee was not up to the task. For those seeing Barella magic in this game, i do not think he was that great last night, Rabiot ate him alive, robbing him the ball everytime, except for that dribbling phase towards the end on the game near the touchline that led somewhere. Inzaghi will be the happiest, beating Juve on their own turf at last, something he rarely managed to do with Lazio.
Juve has almost won half of its Scudettos through messing with the games and nasty businesses, so it’s fun to see their players and fan base nagging about referee decisions.
It’s so refreshing to see Jyve crying when they are involved in every scandal in Italian football. It’s no wonder they couldn’t win in the CL because they just didn’t have enough authority. Juve need to wait until their investigation ends which could end up in points reduction anyways. To claim a shove was a penalty when most refs won’t even give a foul is just so desperate with the picture clearly shows the ball was way outside the box which means the momentum meant for the foul to occur effective contact that led to the foul was outside. If they were reviewing pictures instead of videos then every incident would lead to a penalty. Also I think defenders have already figured out Vlahovic style at Juve he just needs an imposing physical defender then he’s out of the match.
A penalty? It shouldn’t even have been a foul. Yes Bastoni pushed him on a 50/50 ball. That’s how you’re taught to defend. Juventus fans can’t stop crying.
Juve lost fair and square. They are just not clinical in front of the goal, and as in most big games, the little episodes decide the outcome.
As a Juve fan, it was unfair but no problems.
It is basically payback for the incident between Ronaldo and Mark Iuliano in 1998. Inter fans were upset about that for 20 years! Juve fans will move on from this after 2 days.
If Juve fans think Inter penalty was soft so tell me what was the penalty in the reverse fixture? Short memory ha? So far no expert has claimed that Zakaria’s incident was a penalty! Stop making up stuff, you LOST!
Woah, suddenly all of you become hypocrite when the incidents are in favor of your team. FYI, this is not the first time Juve got robbed and won’t be the last time, but the difference is Juve was still winning even though they got decision going against them and your team didn’t. Well, at least you found happiness in finding refereeing excuses. Good for you then.
Followed Italian football for over 30 years. If Juve had won like Inter won yesterday they would all be here saying we cheated, payed the ref etc but when it happens for Juve they(fans & Media) act like there is nothing wrong. Always been like this in Italy for as long as i have been watching.
Jeg venter straffene tildelte Inter i hver kamp framover.
Særlig i kampene som de lider.
