Juventus icon Gianluigi Buffon has hit out at the "insane" limitations of VAR after Pierre Kalulu was controversially sent off in the Derby d'Italia defeat to Inter last month. The former goalkeeper questioned the current officiating standards in Serie A following the high-profile blunder as he expressed his frustration with the process.
Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni has publicly apologised for celebrating Juventus star Pierre Kalulu's red card during the Derby d'Italia at the weekend weekend. The Italian centre-back revealed in a press conference that he has received death threats after replays showed him diving and deceiving the referee, prompting him to dismiss the Juve man and give Inter the advantage.
The fallout from a volatile Derby d’Italia has taken a legal turn as Juventus directors Giorgio Chiellini and Damien Comolli have been hit with significant suspensions. The Italian sporting judge delivered the verdict following a heated half-time confrontation at San Siro, where the duo cornered referee Federico La Penna regarding the controversial dismissal of Pierre Kalulu - an incident that has left the Bianconeri hierarchy fuming at the standard of officiating in Serie A.
