Chiellini and Comolli banned after Inter Milan clash

Giorgio Chiellini and Damien Comolli have been handed bans by the sports judge following their reaction to Pierre Kalulu’s dismissal during Juventus’ clash with Inter Milan, a decision that has further intensified debate around the controversial fixture.

Kalulu was sent off early in the match after receiving two yellow cards, a moment that proved to be a decisive turning point. Although Juventus responded with determination and defended resolutely, Inter ultimately capitalised on their numerical advantage and secured a late victory. The dismissal immediately sparked strong reactions from the Juventus bench and officials.

Confrontation at half-time

At half-time, Comolli and Chiellini confronted the referee to express their frustration over what they believed to be an unjust decision. The situation became heated, and they had to be restrained by several individuals, including Luciano Spalletti, who was intent on ensuring that attention returned to the match itself rather than escalating tensions further.

Despite the setback of playing with ten men for a significant portion of the contest, Juventus reorganised effectively and delivered a courageous performance. They limited Inter’s opportunities for long spells and remained competitive, raising the possibility that they might salvage at least a point. However, they were unable to prevent a late goal that confirmed their defeat.
