Bastoni Booed Throughout at Como as Inter Hand Him Coppa Italia Captaincy

Supporters target the defender over the Juventus incident that led to Kalulu’s red card.

Overview

  • Como fans loudly booed Alessandro Bastoni at every touch from kickoff in the Coppa Italia tie at the Sinigaglia.
  • The treatment replicated what he received at Lecce in the first away match after the Inter–Juventus episode.
  • Hostility stems from accusations that he simulated to draw Kalulu’s expulsion and then celebrated the red card.
  • His public apology delivered before the Champions League match against Bodo has not eased the backlash.
  • Inter coach Cristian Chivu gave Bastoni the captain’s armband in the cup match, and no formal sanctions have been reported.
