Luigi Chiarello, a journalist for Italia Oggi, delivered a strong criticism of referee Massa`s performance during the Lazio-Juventus match. Chiarello asserted that the outcome of championships is not primarily skewed by overlooked offsides or penalties that weren`t given. Instead, he argued, the real issue lies in inconsistencies and “asymmetries” in officiating—specifically, instances where yellow cards are escalated to reds, non-existent yellows are issued, or obvious yellow card situations are ignored. “This is how referees change matches,” declared Chiarello in his harsh assessment, using the Lazio-Juventus game as a prime example of this effect.
