Inter Milan go silent: total media blackout after Lazio draw

Following a controversial 2-2 draw against Lazio, Inter Milan have enforced a full media blackout to avoid disciplinary risks after recent refereeing decisions

Inter Milan have decided not to send any club members to speak with the media following their 2-2 draw with Lazio. But what lies behind this total media silence?
According to FcInter1908.it, the reason is strategic: the club wants to avoid potential suspensions or disciplinary actions following recent controversial refereeing decisions.

Referee frustration mounts: Inter Milan’s breaking point

There is growing frustration within the club regarding several incidents in recent Serie A matchdays. 

Among them: the controversial throw-in awarded to Bologna, and the penalty not given for a foul on Bisseck against Roma — where the VAR failed to intervene. 

These are just the most recent examples in a string of refereeing decisions that Inter Milan feel have gone against them.

The club’s choice for a complete media blackout is not merely a protest but a protective move: by refraining from making post-match statements, they avoid risking fines or bans for players or staff who might express anger or discontent with officiating.

In this tense context, Inter Milan’s silence speaks volumes. It’s a sign of unity and discipline, but also of exasperation. 

The decision to avoid any public comments may also reflect a strategic pause, allowing the club to internally assess the situation before potentially escalating the matter through official league channels.

With only one match left before the season ends — away to Como — all eyes will now be on whether Inter Milan decide to break their silence or double down on their position.
