Inter defender and Italian national team player Alessandro Bastoni has been subjected to insults on social media after the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina (1:1, penalty shootout 1:4).
Idman.Biz reports that Bastoni received a straight red card in the 41st minute of the final play-off match to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
According to BeIN Sports, after the match, the 26-year-old footballer and his wife, Camilla Bresciani, received thousands of comments on social media, many of which were abusive. The situation escalated so quickly that they were forced to restrict communication on their profiles.
The defender had previously received threats and insults on social media after causing Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu to be sent off in a 3:2 Serie A match. At that time, Alessandro restricted comments on his posts, and his wife deactivated her account.
