"This weekend's game between Inter and Juventus has certainly brought up a bit of controversy with many seeing former Milan defender Pierre Kalulu's red card as wrong. The Frenchman was given a second yellow card for an incident with Bastoni. However, the video footage shows no contact, but due to it being a second yellow card, the use of VAR was prohibited. A situation which could be vital at the end of the season in the Champions League and Scudetto races."
""I didn't expect this kind of exultation from Bastoni, especially for how it happened. I was hurt because I believe that he is going to be part of an elite to which Maldini, Cannavaro and a few others belong. It was a mistake, I hope it doesn't happen again. We must not forget that we are the first to charge this type of game with expectations.""
Alessandro Bastoni was involved in an incident that led to Pierre Kalulu receiving a second yellow and a red card during Inter vs Juventus. Video footage showed no contact between the players, but VAR could not intervene because the red card resulted from a second yellow. The decision has drawn heavy criticism and could influence the Champions League and Scudetto races. Billy Costacurta, who previously held Bastoni in high regard and compared him to Paolo Maldini, expressed disappointment at Bastoni's exultation and called it a mistake, urging that expectations on elite players carry responsibility.
