Romanisti, and not only them, protest on social media and show the similarities between the goal of the Leipzig striker (not validated) and that of the Inter defender.
Controversies sparked by Acerbi’s goal during the match between Roma and Inter, validated by the referee despite protests from the Giallorossi regarding Thuram‘s position, are not calming down. Many AS Roma fans have compared the Inter defender’s goal to the one that was disallowed tonight during the Champions League round of 16 match between Leipzig and Real Madrid, involving Benjamin Sesko, the German team’s center-forward.
Sesko’s disallowed goal fuels Roma fans’ reaction
In the 2nd minute, after a corner kick, Sesko pounced on a teammate’s wayward attempt and headed the ball into the net behind the goalkeeper. However, the referee immediately disallowed it for offside. The images have fueled reactions from Roma fans, who on social media compared Sesko’s goal to Acerbi‘s. In this case as well, the player was behind the goalkeeper: Sesko was behind the Real Madrid defender, just as Thuram was behind Rui Patricio.
