Inter Milan 0-1 Liverpool – Poland Superstar Devastated After Scandalous Refeering Decision: “If That’s A Foul, They Are All Penalties” | OneFootball

Inter Milan midfielder Piotr Zielinski heavily criticized Felix Zwayer after tonight’s devastating Champions League defeat to Liverpool.

Speaking to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, Zielinski slammed the German referee over a dubious penalty call.

Arne Slot’s side inflicted a late heartbreak on the Nerazzurri, condemning them to their second consecutive European loss.

Indeed, Dominik Szoboszlai converted a late penalty after Florian Wirtz went to ground in the box following Alessandro Bastoni’s soft tackle.

However, all the blame goes to Felix Zwayer and his VAR colleagues.

Despite initially waving ‘play on,’ Zwayer had a change of heart after reviewing the incident on the side-pitch monitor.

As a result, Inter relinquished their three-game winning run in a match they didn’t deserve to lose.

Furthermore, Inter’s quest to secure a second consecutive top-eight finish is now significantly compromised.

Zielinski, who replaced Hakan Calhanoglu in the 11th minute, lost his temper after the final whistle.

“We are disappointed and angry because we played a good game,” Zielinski said. “But we lacked a bit of finishing to put the ball in the net.

“As for the referee’s decisions, I don’t understand them.

“From the field, it didn’t look like a foul. If they call these fouls, then every situation would be a penalty.”

Meanwhile, speaking to InterTV via FCInterNews, Zielinski reiterated his disappointment with Zwayer’s officiating.

“We are disappointed and frustrated,” Zielinski was adamant. “For me, that was never a penalty, but unfortunately, that’s how it went.

“Playing every three days is obviously never easy; every match is high-level, sometimes with travel involved.

“These kinds of games can happen to any team, so you have to recover properly, have energy, and keep moving forward.

“Any advice for the team? No advice, the team knows what it has to do.

“We have a tough away game against Genoa on a very challenging pitch.

“We need to get back to winning, and then we’ll focus on the Champions League from January with the last two matches.”
