Published on: 10 March 2017

AC Milan felt like they were robbed after referee Davide Massa awarded Juventus a late controversial penalty in their game against the Serie A leaders on Friday night.


It was a classic Serie A rivalrythat had quality Italian football and late drama. The Bianconeri clinched a 2-1 win against the Rossoneri, however, many Milanese fans thought is was a win assisted bythe referee.


The penalty was awardedto the hosts in injury-time. It was given forMattia de Sciglio's handball whenStephan Lichtsteiner's cross struck the Milan defender's hand. The visitors were extremely disappointedto end the match this way.


AC Milan and Juventus fans both had their say on twitter, with some sharing different views and reactions to the penalty call.

AC Milan's manager Vincenzo Montella wasn't too impressed with the referee in charge. The Italian even had to apologiseafter striker Carlos Bacca exchanged words with touchline assistants. Juve's manager approached this situation in a placid way.

How can anyone with an ounce of dignity, in the face of visual proof, still have the audacity to whine n say it was NOT a penalty #JuveMilan pic.twitter.com/vf7Cd2FtqD

Even Milan's vice-president Adriano Galliani brought himself into the chaos.

God help us if Juventus play Barcelona in the Champions League, it'll be a penalty every five minutes.

Take this into consideration, would Milan be given a penalty in the same circumstance at the Juventus Stadium? Definitely not.

Hugely controversial penalty. A point was going fair, Juve missed many chances, Donnarumma was incredible.

Robbed penalty was a joke , playing in until Juventus got something , if they didnt give the penalty we'd still be playing in the morning

Donnarumma was not happy with the call on Juve's game-winning penalty. Thoughts? 樂 pic.twitter.com/2cL7kPBJxB
