Inter Milan 0-1 Liverpool – Nerazzurri Furious With VAR As Italy Star Defender Reckless | OneFootball

Inter Milan center-back Alessandro Bastoni was the architect of his side’s gut-wrenching 1-0 loss to Liverpool last night. 

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, Bastoni’s recklessness paved the way for the Reds’ controversial victory at San Siro.

It’s been a season of ups and down for Alessandro Bastoni.

However, the 26-year-old has often been remarkable in the Champions League.

Even last night, he fared well for most of the game, only for a moment of madness to undo his earlier contributions.

It’s hard to explain Bastoni’s actions inside Inter’s penalty area.

Indeed, he pulled Florian Wirtz’s shirt from behind, even though there was no reason for such a move.

Felix Zwayer initially allowed play to continue before overturning his call after receiving a call from the VAR booth.

Despite a solid overall performance, Bastoni’s brief misjudgment inside the box allowed Liverpool to win a late penalty.

Though Zwayer’s decision was controversial, to say the least, it ultimately decided the match.

Meanwhile, Bastoni’s season has been a mix of standout displays and occasional errors.
