The match between the clubs "Juventus" and "Milan" on Sunday in Italy generated great interest, and after the game football fans had many controversial moments to argue about. The tough battle ended with a difficult 3:2 victory for the Turin footballers defending their "Serie A" champions title, but the match was not without controversial and disputed episodes.
Giorgio Chiellini, the defender of "Juventus," was particularly angry after the game, as he was brutally stopped by "Milan" defender Philippe Mexes while raising a corner in the 69th minute. Mexes punched his colleague in the head during the corner, but was only punished with a yellow card.
"Such actions must be strictly punished, because behaving like that is not fair, it's not football. Throughout my career, I have been harshly stopped many times and have also stopped opponents harshly, but I have never acted like that," Chiellini said.
However, after the mentioned episode, Mexes did not play in the game for long - he received a second yellow card, which turned into a red one just 6 minutes later and had to leave the match.
"There are players who repeat such outbursts. Tough play and sacrifice in football are necessary and understandable, but afterward, hands are always shaken. Mexes' action was not football," claimed the Juventus defender.
Chiellini received a perfect response for Mexes' unfair behavior - he scored a goal in the 75th minute, after which the score became 3:1 and ultimately crushed the "Milan" team.
