The controversy following the 1-1 draw between Inter and Atalanta has not died down. The dissatisfaction of the black and blues is great with the refereeing.
If most experts agree with referee Manganiello regarding Krstovic's equalizer, considering Sulemana's sending off against Dumfries as easy, the attitude changes for the Scalvini-Frattesi case.
According to reports from Italy, the leaders of the Italian Referees Association themselves, present at the stadium, have admitted that the contact should have been sanctioned with a penalty.
This decision has increased the doses of bitterness among the Blues, who recall two similar precedents where they were punished precisely for such contacts: that of Dumfries against Alex Sandro in 2021 and of Darmian against Magnani in 2024.
Another critical point remains the selection of Matteo Gariglio in the VAR room. Gariglio, who left the pitch in 2023 after just 19 Serie A matches to be promoted to VAR specialist, has been targeted for not calling the main referee to the monitor.
This mistake comes at a critical moment, making the race for the championship title with Milan even more heated.
