🤯 Contact on Mancini: NO penalty but protests

🗣️ Gasp: "Dybala? The right moment. We can’t afford mistakes"
Speaking to Sky Sport before the match, Gasperini commented on Dybala’s condition: "This is the right moment. Dybala has completed his entire recovery, trained regularly, and has already had some match tests, so today he will start".
He was also very clear about the league standings: "Basically, we have no margin for error, so we can only win if we want to keep hoping. Then, after that, the math is what it is: Juventus have to slip up in one match, Milan in two".
