Lautaro Martínez at risk of suspension for alleged profanity after loss 1-0 against Juventus

According to IlBianconero, frustration was evident among Inter Milan players following their defeat in the Derby d’Italia, as they likely did not expect to return to Milan empty-handed. A determined Juventus secured a 1-0 victory, particularly dominating in the second half.

One of the most visibly frustrated players at the final whistle was Lautaro Martínez, who had an underwhelming performance, missing several goal-scoring opportunities. Cameras captured him shouting in frustration, and it appears he may have used offensive language, as suggested by his lip movements.

While no audio evidence is available, many fans on social media are calling for disciplinary action against the Argentine striker. Similar incidents in the past have led to suspensions, such as Stefano Turati’s case last season after Frosinone’s match against Napoli.

According to Article 37 of the Sports Justice Code, any player or coach found using blasphemous language during a match faces a minimum suspension of one game.

Although the regulations are clear, Martínez may avoid punishment due to the lack of audio confirmation. According to protocol, both video and audio evidence are required to confirm the offense.

In this case, DAZN’s footage only provides visual clues, which may not be sufficient. A similar situation occurred with Bryan Cristante in a Roma-Juventus match, where he avoided suspension due to a lack of audio proof unlike Turati, who was penalized under the same rule.
