Serie A
Di Maria was sent off for elbowing an opponent in the chest in Monza – Juventus in the 41st minute
The first leg of their away game in Monza ended in the worst possible way for Juventus when Angel Di Maria was sent off with a red card in the 41st minute for elbowing an opponent in the chest.
All (wrong) Juventus had missed sackings recently (4 draws in their first six league games, two defeats in as many games in the Champions League group stage) to make life even more difficult for them.
The reason for the phase that marked the first part of the game between Monza and Juventus for matchday 7 of Serie A, in which Massimo Allegri’s team remained in what seemed an unexpected phase with 10 players for the rest of the game.
The negative star was Angel Di Maria, the Argentina international striker reacting childishly to an Itzo tackle in the middle of the field after elbowing his opponent in the chest and forcing referee Maresca to show him the red card straight away.
