Watch Alessio Romagnoli’s tackle against Juventus, which cost him a straight red card in the first half at the Allianz Stadium.

The Italian defender was given his marching orders in minute 24 on Saturday when his tackle stopped Pierre Kalulu’s run just before the French defender entered the penalty area.

Referee Juan Luca Sacchi initially did not even give a free kick to Juventus, but was then called to the field monitor to assess the incident.

It was a clear scoring opportunity, Romagnoli received a straight red card after the VAR check and Juventus received a free kick that Dusan Vlahovic sent over the bar.
