“A Saturday to Forget at the Mapei Stadium for the Juventus Defender, Who Scores a Spectacular Own Goal”
First, the surreal own goal that definitively sank Juventus in Reggio Emilia against Sassuolo, and then the nervousness that culminated in a reaction towards Matteo Fabris, the Bianconeri team manager.
It was a Saturday to forget for Federico Gatti, who sealed the final result of Sassuolo-Juventus at 4-2 with a backward touch without realizing that Szczesny was not in the goal. He couldn’t contain his disappointment and let himself go to a gesture that became viral on social media.
Gatti’s own goal and reaction: What happened?
Upon returning to the locker room, Juventus team manager Matteo Fabris attempted to console Gatti by touching his shoulder as if to give him a pat of encouragement. However, Gatti reacted by pushing Fabris away abruptly and even trying to punch with his fist. The defender was taken away and escorted to the locker room by Dusan Vlahovic, who, sensing his teammate’s tension, had already rushed onto the field to “escort” him out of the playing area.
