JAKARTA - Juventus midfielder, Adrien Rabiot is upset and disappointed by Juventus' 0-1 defeat to Inter Milan in the 30th week of the 2021/2022 Italian League, Monday, April 4 in the morning WIB.

Rabiot said the Nerazzurri's victory was helped by the referee through a controversial penalty decision.

In that match, the Bianconeri had to be willing to lose three points against Inter at the Allianz Stadium. In front of the public itself, the team nicknamed The Old Lady ran aground through Hakan Calhanoglu's single goal through the white point in the 45+5 minute.

Rabiot rate, the decision is full of controversy. Because, Calhanoglu had the opportunity to repeat the penalty shot.

Even though the Turkish-blooded player's shot could be stopped by Juventus goalkeeper, Wojciech Szczesny. However, the referee then decided Inter Milan had the right to repeat the penalty execution.

This was followed by Juventus player Matthijs de Ligt who was caught entering the penalty box before Calhanoglu released a kick. Not to mention De Ligt also immediately received the ball from the vomit.

Then, Rabiot assessed that Juventus actually deserved a penalty in that match. According to him, Denis Zakaria had been violated in the penalty box. However, the incident went unnoticed by the referee.

"It's difficult to win in eleven against twelve. I think the foul on Denis Zakaria occurred in the penalty box. It was an important incident that unfortunately changed the game," Rabiot said after the game, quoted by Football Italia.

"But for the next game I hope to have a referee who will do well because it's also important to say when the referee is wrong."

However, it seems that the Old Lady's defeat was not rooted in the referee's performance. Massimiliano Allegri's concoction team had a hard time scoring goals. How not, from 22 attempts to shoot, only five that lead to the goal. Yet they appear dominant.

However, their dull front row was the reason for Juventus' defeat as Calhanoglu's goal was not able to be answered by them.

Disappointing results that make Rabiot et al did not move from fourth position. They have to settle for collecting 59 points and four points adrift of Inter Milan, who sits in third position.
