Sulley Muntari’s ghost aim from Juventus
Former Italy midfielder Antonio Nocerino thinks the notorious ‘ghost goal’ from Juventus was ‘the second that transformed the record of Milan,’ as it led to the departures of top to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva.
The incident transpired in 2012 all through a 1-1 attract at San Siro — that means the Scudetto showdown ended in a stalemate rather than enabling the Rossoneri to take management.
Juventus would sooner or later earn the Serie A title, but that minute — when Sulley Ali Muntari’s effort crossed the line ahead of Gigi Buffon palmed it back again out – was a turning level in the press for target-line technological innovation.
“It was not just after the video game everyone went mad, it was straight right after the aim. It was unbelievable, it was a purpose. Buffon moved driving his purpose-line when he clawed the ball,” Nocerino advised The Italian Football Podcast.
“This second adjusted the long term of Milan. With this target, Milan would have received the Scudetto. The big players – Zlatan and Thiago Silva – wouldn’t have remaining the club that summertime. The club would have invested more revenue to earn as perfectly going ahead. So this ghost goal adjusted the record of Milan.
“If Milan had received the Scudetto, Zlatan and Thiago would have stayed, Milan for sure would have received additional Scudetti.”
