LEADER Juventus left a sour taste among its Italian Serie A rivals after furiously criticizing a referee who failed to award it a penalty at the weekend.
AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri said that without faith in the referees it would be better to stop playing and Napoli goalkeeper Morgan Di Sanctis also hit out at Juventus.
"If you don't believe in the good faith of the referees...it's better to stop," Allegri, whose team beat Atalanta 1-0 on Sunday, told Italian media.
Juventus was held 1-1 at home by lowly Genoa on Saturday and believed it should have been given a penalty in stoppage time when Andreas Granqvist kicked the ball on to his hand.
Coach Antonio Conte, whose side is three points clear of second-placed Napoli, was livid and said referee Marco Guida told him he "was not ready" to award the penalty.
The most controversial remark came from Juventus sporting director Giuseppe Marotta who made a reference to the fact Guida comes from the Naples region.
That comment was badly received especially as it was far from clear whether Granqvist's handball was intentional.
Genoa president Enrico Preziosi described Conte's reaction as "arrogance" and demanded action. Di Sanctis also said Juventus' comments should be investigated.
