The post-match press conference almost became a condemnation session for the Torino manager, who was unable to contain his anger when confronted by an Italian journalist about the goal.

'There was no doubt that it was a clear handball, not only did my players see it, but the broadcaster's footage clearly recorded the whole thing. If this is not a violation, then in addition to the fact that I have misunderstood the rules of football since I was a child, the reasonable explanation is that there is only one left, that is, someone has made an unforgivable mistake. Originally, we could have gone home with a 0-0 or even good result, although I am not very happy with the current situation, but this is extremely unfair to the Torino team, and it is difficult to accept anyone else. ”

"Should VAR be introduced? It's not up to me to decide, so there's no point in analysing it here, I just think it's surprising that there have been so many controversial decisions in this year's Champions League and Europa League, and those in power haven't said anything about it. ”

"Am I questioning the quality of the referees and the work of UEFA? No, that's your media's understanding, I'm just an ordinary person who works diligently, but was stolen by competitors by improper means, and there is a big family waiting to eat behind me, but I didn't get the expected remuneration because of my career setbacks, can't I call two grievances after being so wronged? You still don't let people live! ”

"I'm not as true as Mr. Diego Simeone, I heard that not only was he sent to the stands, but he could also be suspended for a play-off? Hopefully not, as his colleague, I understand the state of mind of a manager who is faced with one man less in the opening minutes, and that anger can consume everything. Although I don't agree with his suspected abuse of the referee at the time, but now that I think about it, if it weren't for the unfairness and inconsistent scale of the referee's decision on duty, I believe the result would not have been what it is now. ”

"I'm cautiously optimistic about our hopes of reaching the final, and despite losing in France and failing to score away goals, the one-goal gap is not huge for a two-legged encounter, and the two teams still have equal chances. Luckily, we were lucky enough to have home advantage in a do-or-die match, and I'm sure the Red Bulls fans are well prepared and looking forward to coming early next Thursday. ”

Li Mudi's statement was undoubtedly like pouring another pot of oil on top of the already raging fire, making the question of referees the hottest topic in the market before the start of the national leagues at the weekend, attracting fans from various teams to complain at the same time, it also naturally aroused the idea of UEFA.

So on Friday afternoon, before the punishment of how many games Simonsi would be suspended was introduced, the punishment against the Torino coach for attacking the refereeing staff in public was the first to be announced. Because it was made after the game, and there was no direct accusation, it did not involve a ban, but the fine of 25,000 euros and a verbal warning could not be considered very light.

According to the referee experts of the Spanish newspaper "As", Simeone is likely to suffer two or three suspensions because of his international performance in the game. According to the report, if his protest is suspected of insulting the referee and is written into the post-match report, then the Atletico coach will be suspended for three games; If he is not suspected of insulting the referee but is still included in the post-match report, then Simeone will still be suspended for two games. This means that even if the Sheets reach the final, the Argentine coach will most likely not be able to show up on the sidelines to take command, which is a huge loss for the team.

In short, this weekend was greeted by a torrent of abuse from Torino and Atletico Madrid fans, and combined with the still unrelieved Juventus supporters, UEFA and several of the new generation of referees it has promoted this season have suffered a great crisis of confidence, but the situation does not seem to be going in a better direction either.

In the midst of all the disruption, the clock was fast approaching Saturday evening, with Roma making their first appearance in the league in preparation for the second leg of next week's Champions League semi-final. As it is in the critical period of competing for the fourth place in the league, the Red Wolves, who are already facing no way out in the Champions League, did not dare to retain their strength in the league, but discharged most of the main forces to face Chievo. Despite being sent off early in the second half, Roma showed good competitive form, winning 4-1 at home to relegation side Chievo. It's just that the core players have basically played the whole game, and it is unknown whether they can adjust their physical condition before the life-and-death battle with Liverpool four days later.

However, Di Francesco's arrangement proved to be a success three hours later, as Inter lost 3-2 at home to Juventus in the second leg of the Italian derby this season, giving up fourth place in the table and allowing the Red Wolves to temporarily take the lead in the race for a Champions League spot.

In this game, the Nerazzurri sitting in Meazza were suppressed by the old lady at the beginning, and the high-intensity high-level pressing of the visiting team made the Inter players very uncomfortable, and they could only increase the number of people in the backfield and give up the initiative. Douglas Costa's goal in the 13th minute also showed that the home team's players were not very focused defensively, and it was difficult to suppress the opponent's attack by relying on the advantage of numbers alone.

It's just that the roof leak happened to rain overnight, and Uruguayan midfielder Vecino was sent off in the fifteenth minute of the game because of his malicious stampede on Mandzukic, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to Inter Milan.

But no one expected that the Nerazzurri who played one less person actually showed a super-god fighting spirit and blood, not only firmly blocking Juve's onslaught, but also constantly pressing the away team's defense through everyone's strengthened passing and running efforts, and it was almost impossible to see that they were fighting with one less person on the field, which was extremely admirable.

In the 52nd minute, a free-kick from right-back Joao Cancelo was headed into the net by Icardi from outside the six-yard penalty area to level the score. Thirteen minutes later, Croatian winger Perisic shook Cuadrado on the left side of the penalty area, then entered the penalty area and swept a low ball in front of the goal, the ball was accidentally blocked into his own goal by Barzagli, and the home team completed the overtake.

The second goal was also a big blow to Allegri, who had just been replaced by Dybala and was ready to strengthen the attack, but the Bianconeri, who had to win to retain the title chance, had no way back, so he immediately replaced Bernardeschi and Bentancur and gave the order for a general attack. It's just that the performance of the Inter Milan players today is really against the sky, and Shengsheng maintained the score of 2-1 until the 80th minute, leaving Higuain and other world-class attackers at a loss.

However, Spalletti was suddenly possessed by Allegri not far away at this time, and made an extremely conservative choice in succession, which later proved to be the decisive factor in the self-destruction of the Great Wall. He replaced Raphinha, who had performed well in the game, with veteran Valero, which was a realignment that was barely acceptable, but then it caused full-back Thornton to replace the only striker on the pitch, Icardi, so that Inter's attack could no longer pose a threat to the opposition, so that the Juventus players could press all without scruples.

In the 87th minute, Dybala sent a delicate pass from the edge of the penalty area, Cuadrado went straight into the penalty area and hit the goal directly from a near-zero angle on the right side of the small penalty area, and the ball hit Skriniar's body and bounced into the net, leaving Handanovic helpless. Two minutes later, the visitors were awarded a free-kick and Dybala's long ball found Gonzalo Higuain, who headed in for Juventus.

It wasn't until the last minute of stoppage time that Spalletti woke up like a big dream to bring on French striker Caramo, but this behavior was more like a joke. The six-time Serie A winner finally took three points from Meazza to return to the top of the table and kick Inter Milan out of Champions League qualification.

After seeing Higuain's goal, Li Mudi, who had been watching the game on TV, almost threw the remote control in his hand to the ground, which was too bad for him who didn't want to see his sworn rival win the championship. Although there were some controversial decisions in the game, such as Pjanic's ferocious kick to Raphinha that was enough to get a red card, but in the end there was no yellow card, which showed a serious disparity in the scale of Becino's foul action. But in the final analysis, it was the Inter coach who made many stupid moves at the end today, burying a good game that the players fought so hard to play, which is a pity.

The turn of the day, when Napoli were beaten by Fiorentina by three goals in a shock away game, the situation in the Serie A table changed dramatically this weekend. The Bianconeri have come back a week after being overtaken by the Dolphins in the previous round to regain a two-point lead at the top of the table, and as long as they can win away at Roma in two weeks' time, they will almost be able to secure a seventh consecutive title and bring the whole of Italian football to their feet.

Wins at Atalanta, AC Milan, Sampdoria and Fiorentina have kept the race for a Europa League spot extremely tense, with the maximum margin between the four teams being just three points, and it will be a desperate battle for the final three weekends to qualify for a seventh-place finish in the league.

SPAL won 3-1 away at Verona, not only surpassing Chievo, who lost in this round, and temporarily escaping the relegation circle, but also widening the gap with today's opponent to 10 points, with only three rounds left in the league, Verona announced their relegation to the second division ahead of schedule. However, the latter journey will not be alone, as early as the end of last weekend's league game, fellow promoted Benevento has been in danger of relegation, becoming the first team in the five major leagues to be relegated, this season's Serie A strength and weakness are very clear, which also shows that Italian football in the world competitiveness has not yet returned to the ideal state.

As for Torino, it will not be easy, thanks to Inter Milan's defeat, they have basically locked up a top-four place in the table, and as long as they can win one of their remaining games to secure Champions League qualification, they can naturally focus on next Thursday's clash with Marseille.

This round of their home game against Lazio was originally considered a wonderful battle of strong dialogue, but Li Mudi's starting list announced on Sunday morning did not disappoint the outside world, and the core such as Belotti and Immobile still did not start. But a little better than the defeat to Atalanta in the previous round, the big names were still on the bench, after all, the home fans who paid for tickets to watch the game were too disappointed.

The process of the game is still not lacking in highlights, is the last fight for the fourth place in the league Blue Eagles are naturally the main force of the game, but only 14 minutes into the game, their top scorer, Senegalese striker Keita, who has scored 15 goals in Serie A this season, was injured in a scramble, can no longer hold on, had to be replaced by teammate Caicedo, the away team did not wait for the full firepower to lose a big player.

In the 22nd minute, Milinkovic Savic, who has become the focus of Real Madrid, Barcelona and other giants, burst into the penalty area with the ball and was tackled by the young Torino central defender Bonifazi, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty. However, Alberto's low low ball was easily held by Cassie with a well-anticipated side save and the visitors wasted a great chance to open the scoring.

After that, the situation on the pitch basically showed that the young Torino players had more possession and Lazio, who were desperate for goals, created more chances on goal, but with the help of Cassie's brave play, the united Bulls still resisted the onslaught of their opponents for a long time, and kept the score 0-0 until 15 minutes after the kick-off of the second half. Lazio finally took advantage of a corner, and Savic broke the deadlock with a nod in front of Alberto after receiving a pass from Alberto. Torino's other young centre-back, Rivoya, made a mistake of not making a tight mark, giving the opposition the chance to shoot from close range.

However, the Torino coach did not criticize the players, but gave the lads more encouragement, allowing them to let go and continue to study hard in the game and accumulate experience for future growth.

In the 70th minute, Immobile, Baseli and Tulalang came on one after another to help the unfavourable Red Bulls turn things around a little. The home team's consistency at both ends of the pitch immediately improved and gave supporters hope of avoiding a home defeat.

In the 85th minute, Lazio, who had wasted many chances in the game, finally swallowed the bitter fruit of their own brewing, and a passing error caused the Torino team to play a quick counter-attack, Falke received a pass from Barcelona and burst into the penalty area, and fell to the ground after a physical collision with Felipe, allowing the referee to award the second penalty of the game.

Against his old club, Immobile was not weak and made it 1-1 in one fell swoop, and his refusal to celebrate after the goal also won unanimous praise from Blue Eagles fans and the media after the game.

In the end, the score did not change again, and Lazio basically missed out on the top four with only one point, but the sixth place is still very secure, and they still have a chance to make a difference in European competition with the Europa League next season.

Torino, on the other hand, are on a two-game winless streak, but the pressure on them is still not much in the league standings. While allowing the main players to rest, and also training young players, Li Mudi's arrangement is still worthy of recognition, and the next thing to see is the key battle four days later.
