There was also controversy on the equaliser, because Aleksandar Kolarov challenged Lautaro Martinez from behind to start the move, but the referee stood by his decision that it wasn’t a foul after the on-field review.
“It’s not a dubious situation. It was a very clear situation. The Roma player does not get the ball, he gets Lautaro’s ankle. I have the utmost respect for referees, they too are going through a strange and anomalous situation, so I don’t think they deserve that kind of criticism. They too can make mistakes, the referee tonight made a mistake, it happens.
“Of course, if you go into the break at 1-1 with the knowledge it was an unjust situation, it is going to make you angry.”
Cunte on Roma's first goal.
