Changing room chat: Referees have all got it in for Inter

INTER Milan say they are “baffled” by some of the officiating in Serie A after being hit by an apparent penalty curse this season.

Claudio Ranieri’s team have conceded five penalties in eight games, the latest in a 1-1 draw at Atalanta on Wednesday.

Inter’s chief executive Ernesto Paolillo said he found it “baffling how easily they can be given against Inter, and yet not be given with the same ease in other games”. Speaking after the Atalanta match, he added: “This evening’s was very dubious, like all the penalties given against us.”
