After Lecce and Como, the Nerazzurri defender was also booed at San Siro for diving against Juve. But he paid dearly for his challenge on Rabiot (which earned him a yellow card).
When it rains, it often ends up snowing. This is not the best moment in Alessandro Bastoni’s career, booed by stadiums across Italy and injured with a severe contusion to his tibia in the most anticipated match in the city, which ended in disaster for the Nerazzurri, who have not celebrated for two endless years. After the sound carpet he received at Lecce and then at Como in the Coppa Italia for his now famous simulation in Inter-Juve, despite his apologies and almost a month having passed since the episode, the Inter player was subjected to insults and whistles from the Rossoneri stadium, as was highly predictable. In the 68th minute, however, he collapsed in pain: in a hard tackle with Rabiot in the middle of the field, he received a yellow card from referee Doveri, which he did not even notice as he writhed on the ground. In the end, limping noticeably, he left the field, making way for Carlos Augusto: he will be re-evaluated by the medical staff at the restart and a decision will be made as to whether further investigation is necessary, but in the best case scenario, 48 hours of rest may be sufficient.
