In the match against Lazio, Juventus missed out on a crucial victory that could have given the Bianconeri a gap over the Romans in the Champions League race. Former head coach of several Italian clubs, Fabio Capello, was incensed by Pierre Kalulu's red card.
Details: Capello bluntly called the red card shown to Kalulu in that match 'stupid' and specifically identified it as the factor that prevented Juventus from defeating Lazio.

Quote: "The game was ruined by Kalulu's sending-off. Juventus started to play with determination and created dangerous chances for Lazio. The Bianconeri paid the price for Kalulu's stupid action. But these days, players throw themselves to the ground and hope for VAR, which unfortunately often rewards them. In England, they wouldn't even have reviewed this incident," Capello said.
Reminder: Before the sending-off, Juventus were leading 1-0, but the match ended 1-1. Both teams now have 64 points, sharing fourth and fifth places, and Roma could overtake them if they beat Atalanta.
