Napoli goalkeeper hits out at referee and VAR: ‘Today’s football is a farce’

Third-choice Napoli Nikita Contini voices his discontent over referee decisions on social media after a 2-1 loss against Atalanta: ‘What a farce today’s football is.’

Napoli suffered a 2-1 away defeat at Atalanta on Sunday, but were outraged by the referee’s decisions, sending their director, Giovanni Manna, to the media to complain after the match.

The Partenopei had a penalty kick revoked in the first half after a VAR check, while referee Daniele Chiffi ruled out their second goal for a Rasmus Hojlund foul on Isak Hien.
