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.
