Juve won 2-1 thanks to a late punishment converted by Randal Kolo Muani. But before Juve's penalty, Gatti escaped a handball incident on the other side of the field.
“To be honest, I am surprised, it is strange that a coach who played at such a high level in his career would say something like that,” Gatti said in response to CESC's complaints about the incident.
“To be honest, it is ridiculous now that the penalties are given for every small touch, we defenders receive no support and we are overly punished, we are not allowed to do anything anymore.
“If we give fines for this, we might as well give up football.”
Gatti also said: “I put my arm an obstacle for the player, not the ball. The problem with VAR is that you cannot tell the size of the touch.
“I don't want to see these punishments that are ever given for the smallest touches and I would say the same if it was given in favor of Juventus instead of against. It's just not possible and I would have been angry. “
