Comoli Rages at Referee in Tunnel

The Italian derby between Juventus and Inter Milan witnessed significant tension within the ranks of both teams, as the Juventus management expressed strong dissatisfaction with the refereeing decisions that affected the course of the match, which Inter won 3-2.

A circulated video inside the tunnel leading to the locker rooms showed Juventus’ executive director, Damien Comolli, shouting at the referee after he sent off player Pierre Kalulu in a manner that Juventus considered unfair. Meanwhile, the team’s coach, Luciano Spalletti, intervened to prevent Comolli from having direct contact with the referee.

After the match, both Comolli and Giorgio Chiellini described what happened in an interview with Sky Sport as “embarrassing for football and unacceptable,” emphasizing that the refereeing decisions negatively impacted the course of the game.

These events sparked widespread debate in the media and on social networks, with Juventus fans calling for a review of refereeing decisions and ensuring that such mistakes are not repeated in major matches in the future.
