Inter Milan Vs Roma – Italy Defender Must Put Bosnia Disaster Behind Him In Must-Win Clash
· Yahoo Sports
Alessandro Bastoni returns to San Siro tonight carrying more baggage than any other player on the pitch, and Tuttosport urge the Inter Milan defender to use Sunday’s Easter showdown with Roma as the moment he finally draws a line under the most turbulent period of his career.

“In the post-apocalypse days, the silence of Alessandro Bastoni shines,” Tuttosport write, via FCInterNews, describing his red card at Zenica as the latest, and perhaps most damaging, chapter in a storm that has been raging since mid-February.
He played the Bosnia game with an injured ankle and out of position.
Obviously mitigating factors, the outlet acknowledge, but not ones that excuse the dismissal for a player of his experience.
Inter Vs Roma – Tuttosport Suggest Bastoni Should Have Apologised After Italy Drama
The silence that has followed has not gone unnoticed.
Tuttosport stop short of demanding contrition but note pointedly:
“In an era of social media where appearances also count, one might have expected, if not an act of contrition, at least a thought, a reflection, something other than silence.”
Despite everything, the path forward remains open.
Bastoni, described by Tuttosport as now a “promised husband of Barcelona,” can still win the Scudetto and the Coppa Italia this season.
Two trophies that would make this a triumphant year in Italy, whatever the international heartbreak.
Tonight he returns alongside Akanji in what Tuttosport diplomatically describe as a back three that lacks the commanding leadership of Acerbi in his prime, “but the years pass even for the highlanders.”
