Juventus, Evra: "I felt they were going to rob us, deny us a blatant penalty"

Patrice Evra, the Frenchman born in 1981, played for Juventus from 2014 to 2017 and reflected on his time in Turin on a YouTube podcast with Luca (jftvluca).


Among the most striking sections, as reported by Tuttosport, are his comments on the Champions League final lost in 2015 against Barcelona and Juventus' Serie A title comeback in the 2015-16 season.


The final against Barcelona

"I don't like blaming referees, but I hated that Turkish referee. Some time earlier, with Manchester United against Real Madrid, he had already sent off Nani unfairly, one of the most scandalous decisions ever. As soon as they told me who would officiate the Berlin final, I immediately felt that we would be robbed. It was a clear penalty on Pogba. We lost against a great Barcelona, but that was an absolutely clear penalty. I hope that referee is in prison now."



  • The comeback of 2015-16

    "I remember that after a defeat everyone was blaming Max Allegri, just as happened at Manchester after David Moyes' departure. I told Buffon that we had to hold a meeting. During the discussion many were complaining about Allegri and longing for Conte. I told them: 'I’m ashamed of what we’re doing, we are the ones responsible.' Then I gave an interview to Sky saying that we did not deserve to wear that shirt, but that from that moment we had the guarantee that we would win every match. For me and for Allegri it was one of the finest Serie A titles. We did not lose a match, remember the unbeaten run, it was incredible. At that moment I had the respect of the other players because they had understood how much I loved Juventus'."
