Despite being down to ten men, Juventus fought back through a Manuel Locatelli strike after Francesco Pio Esposito had put Inter ahead, only for Piotr Zielinski to net a 90th-minute winner.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Speaking to DAZN<\/b>, Chiellini was clear about his frustration regarding the officiating. He stated \u2013 via TuttoJuve: \u201cWe\u2019re not the only ones who realized it. What happened tonight is unacceptable. We\u2019re having a hard time talking about football. That\u2019s why we\u2019re here, not Luciano, because we\u2019re united\u2014the owners, the management, the coach, the players, and I think all the fans, too\u2014to say that what happened today is unacceptable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Juventus executive believes the refereeing choice damaged the quality of the match for everyone watching. He added: \u201cThis is the spectacle Italian football should offer, the most important match ruined in a truly hasty and inappropriate way by a decision like this. It\u2019s yet another in a series that obviously doesn\u2019t involve us alone, but we\u2019re here talking every week. <\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a protocol that\u2019s not right, because it\u2019s unacceptable that this mistake can\u2019t be changed in the rules, but there were four of us on the pitch who had to find a way to avoid doing something like this. It\u2019s the system that doesn\u2019t work, that\u2019s clear. We\u2019ve tried to be proactive since the start of the season to try to change it. We\u2019ve reached a point of no return, and I think that\u2019s clear, seen and said by everyone.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \n<\/div>\n
