Juventus director general Beppe Moratta has moved to quash claims of a conspiracy after the Serie A champions’ controversial win at Catania on Sunday.
“I agree that there was a refereeing mistake yesterday but there have been other mistakes in previous matches and last year Juve was on the receiving end,” said Moratta.
“But we categorically reject any idea of a conspiracy, that Juve somehow affected the result yesterday.” Arturo Vidal’s 57th-minute winner helped Juve extend their lead at the top of Serie A and took their unbeaten streak to 48 matches but the Sicilian side had earlier scored a perfectly good goal that was chalked off by the referee for offside.
