Italian Senator Ronaldo Penalty Question

Turin - Penalty Cristiano Ronaldo at the end of 

the match Juventus vs Genoa questioned 

Italian senator. They plan to discuss it in 

the senate hearing.

Two controversial penalties from the 

Italian League match which was held on 

Thursday (10/31/2019) early morning hrs. 

First in the Napoli vs Atalanta match, then in 

the Juventus vs Genoa match.

It was Napoli striker Fernando Llorente's penalty 

that the referee canceled when facing Atalanta. 

Then another one is Ronaldo's penalty at the end 

in the match Juventus vs Genoa.

In the case of Llorente, referee Pierro Giacomelli did not give Napoli a penalty after the Spanish striker was dropped in the 87th minute. Despite Llorente's elbow being caught on the face of Simon Kjaer, the referee's decision was strongly protested by Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti. As for Ronaldo, the penalty given by referee Antonio Giua is questioned because many CR7 are considered diving. In addition, the penalty is given in the 95th minute, even though the injury time is given only 4 minutes.

That has caused controversy. And as reported 

by ESPN, two Italian senators plan to discuss it 

in the Italian Senate to ensure there 

is no 'partiality' in the Serie A competition.

It was Gianni Pittella from the Democratic 

Central-Left coalition, and Gaetano Quagliarello 

from the IdeA (Identity and Action) 

Central-Right coalition who planned to discuss it.

In his posting on Facebook, Pittella highlighted 

the two penalties above. He also questioned why 

Giacomelli refused to see VAR monitors on 

the sidelines.

Napoli vs Atalanta itself ended in a 2-2 draw, where Atalanta could equalize the score four minutes ahead of normal time runs out. While Juventus won 2-1 over Genoa, and led the Old Lady back to the top
