What was he considering? – responses to the shocking own goal by Gatti in Juventus’ defeat

After scoring a very awful own goal in Juventus’ loss to Sassuolo, Federico Gatti found himself in the unpleasant spotlight.

With three victories and a tie from their first four games of the new campaign, the Bianconeri had been playing well early on. However, everything changed on a warm night in Reggio-Emilia.

Massimiliano Allegri’s team struggled at the Mapei Stadium as they suffered a heartbreaking 4-2 loss to Sassuolo, but one play from the game stands out in particular: Gatti’s excruciatingly painful own goal in the 95th minute.

Wojciech Szczesny threw the ball out to Gatti as the game was winding down, but Gatti made a terrible decision by turning to give the ball back to the Juventus goalkeeper who was still far from his line.

The Old Lady’s awful evening was capped off by the ball trickling into an empty net, and Szczesny could do nothing except watch in agony. After the full-time horn, Allegri embraced Gatti before he immediately vanished into the changing room.

His own goal dominated post-game debates, with spectators and commentators from all sides lamenting the error and expressing laughter, confusion, and frustration.His own goal dominated post-game debates, with spectators and commentators from all sides lamenting the error
