Luciano Spalletti has hit out at Inter boss Christian Chivu after what he called a “stupid” and “unacceptable” attack on Pierre Kalulu, following the defender’s red card in Inter’s controversial win over Juventus.
Tempers flared as Inter edged the clash, but the major talking point came when Kalulu was sent off, a decision that sparked heated reactions on and off the pitch. The dismissal left Juventus dealing with the rest of the game a man down, adding to the sense of injustice around the result.
After the final whistle, Chivu’s comments aimed at Kalulu drew immediate attention, with Spalletti stepping in to condemn the tone and content of the Inter coach’s remarks. Spalletti made clear he felt the line had been crossed, describing the attack as “stupid” and “unacceptable”.
The incident has only increased scrutiny on the officiating and the fallout from the red card, with the Juventus-Inter rivalry once again producing controversy beyond the football itself.
