Published on: 10 March 2017

AC Milan's goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was left furious after his side conceded an injury-time penalty in their2-1 loss against Juventus on Fridayevening.


ESPN FCreport that Donnarumma also wasn't satisfied with the referee. The rising youngster who just recently turned 18, put in an extraordinary performance between the posts, however, he couldn't prevent Paulo Dybala's last-minute penalty from going in.


The so-calledcontroversial penalty was awardedto the Bianconeri in the dying stages afterMattia De Sciglio's hand struckStephan Lichtsteiner's cross. To top it off, Donnarumma then walked off the pitch kissing his shirt badge in front of the Old Lady fans.

Following the heatedmatchup, Donnarumma told reporters: "It's not possible, it's always them."


The entire Milan squad including manager Vincenzo Montella were sour with the match referee Davide Massa. The team's striker Carlos Bacca, who scored the equaliser, had to be restrained by team-mates after he had words with the referee and the touchline assistants.


"Everyone has their interpretation and I want to apologise for the situation at the end," Montella told Mediaset Premium.


"Complaining doesn't get you anywhere. It's pointless. We have to focus, stay calm and accept that referees do make mistakes. We can only hope that the errors go in our favour.

Juve's Dybala, on the other hand, said that: "The other sides have been complaining about Juve for six years. They should focus on other things instead of blaming the ref."


Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri had a calm approach to the tense situation.


"Incidents go for and against, that's football, and I didn't sit here complaining about penalties against Udinese. I said we played badly and deserved no more than a point."


The Bianconeri have now received a fair amount of criticism, however, for the players and management, it means collecting another three vital points to extend their lead on the Serie A table.
