Ederson Insists: "Kalulu's Foul on Rowe Was a Penalty!"
Atalanta felt a missed call could have altered the course of their match against Juventus. With the Bianconeri leading 1-0, Kalulu appeared to pull back Rowe as he moved towards goal. Neither the referee nor the VAR intervened to award a penalty.
Speaking to Sky Sport after the game, Atalanta captain Ederson voiced his strong opinion:
"For me, it was a penalty. His shirt was pulled for several meters. You can't ignore an incident like that, especially with VAR available."
The captain elaborated on why he views the incident as particularly significant:
"The referee can make mistakes, but VAR is precisely there to provide an extra layer of certainty. I'm not saying a penalty would have decided the match, as we conceded two more goals. However, a 1-1 scoreline would have opened up a different game."
Ederson expressed his disappointment with what he believes was a crucial decision against Atalanta:
"We accept that referees can err, but with VAR, situations like this shouldn't happen anymore."
