FC Internazionale v ACF Fiorentina - Serie A 2026/27Getty Images Sport

Inter, Thuram: “Strange, the referee thinks I’m diving and then they tell me they’re all penalties...”

Inter came from behind to beat Fiorentina 2-1 after dominating the match, despite going 1-0 down to Fiorentina's first and only real chance. Marcus Thuram scored to make it 1-1 and won two penalties. Referees did not award the first, sparking protests at San Siro and beyond.

Speaking to Dazn after the match, the Frenchman joked about the decision but also spoke out against referees.

  • Yet another comeback

    "Another comeback? There's belief in the team that we can win a match even right at the end. We've done it, and we know we can always win. A Lautaro-style celebration? Usually he's the one who scores in the final minutes."

  • Refereeing controversy

    "Did I celebrate the penalty a lot too? Yes. It's strange because every time the referee thinks I've dived. I was booked in Bologna and they said it was a penalty. Again today. Mistakes happen. I have to keep taking on my opponent, and then they'll award a penalty, as happened in the end today."

  • Ballon d’Or

    "Who will win the Ballon d'Or? I hope it goes to a Frenchman: Mbappé, Dembele or Olisé."
