CAGLIARI – Absurd refereeing episode in Cagliari-Juventus, with the result 0-0, starring Carlos Alcaraz. The young Argentine midfielder, who arrived at Juventus in January from Southampton on loan with the right to buy, after just six minutes was brought down in the Cagliari area by Yerry Mina in a very violent manner, with an elbow in the face with very wide arms from the rossoblù defender. Hit in the head, ‘Charlie’ had to temporarily leave the pitch, injured in the head and bleeding, returning only after being treated.

An episode bordering on the incredible in the Cagliari area: the Juventus player suffers a very violent blow, according to the referee everything is fine and not even a warning from Lissone

No too many consequences for the player, who after a couple of minutes resumed his place in the Juventus midfield, but the referee Piccinini’s choice to continue the match without awarding the penalty kick in favor of Juventus and taking the shot left him speechless. a card for the clearly foul intervention by the Cagliari native. Added to this is the equally sensational silence of the VAR, which reports absolutely nothing to the match director. The episode, which to define as glaring is an understatement, obviously sparked controversy on social media: many Juventus fans, also affected by many other decisions questionable in this season, they wonder what the use of technology in the field is if not even such sensational episodes are recognised.
