As always in Italy, there is a lot of focus on reviewing situations from last night’s game through video clips. This is exactly what La Gazzetta dello Sport did after the clash between Juventus and Inter and the analyses ended up in an ok for the referee Paolo Valeri who rarely ended up in problems in a game that was pretty fair with very few seriuos episodes: “He was certain (with some help from VAR) of the only controversial situation, when Inter wanted a penalty shot after the shot of Mauro Icardi ended up on the hand of Juventus defender Mehdi Benatia. The referee insists that there was no penalty and the video review supports that decision. The Juventus defender slipped and had his arm perpendicular behind his body, used for support on the ground. To sum it up, an involuntary hand ball. Valeri also got it right with the yellow cards, like the one given to Gonzalo Higuain after protests”.
