Paid a hefty price for small mistakes (some of them not of our own doing). These games are decided by small margins and when certain situations go against you winning becomes quite a bit more difficult. On the positive note the improved character of this team was on show again for most of the game and hopefully we can build on that next season.
De Ligt makes slight contact and then Lautaro hesitates and dives. No way this is a penalty, not in a million years. But not only this Di Marco had about 5 fouls, Brozovic not being sent off was laughable as well. The vlahovic incidents were more penalties than this one. Incidents as I'm including the one in extra time.
Ref completely conditioned the game.
Even in the 5 mins or so build up to their first penalty where they were building momentum there were multiple fouls committed by Inter players that weren't given. If one of them gets given it completely breaks the flow. Then you have Skriniar, Di Marco and Brozovic allowed to fouls as many times as they like without being punished, again these change the games.
The first penalty in particular is ridiculous. Classic move by a well known diver, slow down and leave your leg hanging so that someone touches it and fall over. His leg hooks around Bonucci ffs and looks straight at the ref as he falls. A complete con because he knew he took abad touch, was at a bad angle and had 2 defenders near him.

But on the same play? I'd like to see any video. Surely Lautaro would already have been down if there was contact, he is clearly gravitationally challenged.
One thing you can say about Inter is the same as you can say about older Juve - they have the sneakiness and experience to do these things, we have too few of these players at the moment, and they decide big games by conning officials or little incidents all over the field.

On the same play, yes.
I can't find the video yet, but it looks like the penalty was given for De Ligt's foul (the text below the video)

They were showing the replay from a different angle, to check if there was a handball by Lautaro, and it was pretty obvious that De Ligt kicked him, though I'm not sure about the intensity of that kick.
