Alessandro Bastoni and wife overwhelmed by insults and threats: the decision

Alessandro Bastoni and wife Camilla overwhelmed by insults and threats on social media after Italy’s defeat in Bosnia, which cost Gennaro Gattuso’s Azzurri qualification for the 2026 World Cup. The Inter defender is going through a very complicated moment: after the simulation in the match against Juve that had worldwide clamor and the protests that followed, came the injury that has limited him a lot in the last matches.

Against Bosnia, Bastoni was sent off in the final minutes of the first half in an attempt to stop a Bosnian striker launched towards Gianluigi Donnarumma’s goal after an earlier mistake by Mancini.

Inevitably, the Nerazzurri central player became the first scapegoat of the Azzurri’s rout in Zenica.

On Instagram, the player was forced to limit comments on his profile due to the thousands of insults and threats that overwhelmed him after the Zenica match. Hundreds of furious users pelted him with swear words and threatening phrases, and with him also his wife Camilla, who in turn decided to block comments on his personal profile.

Bastoni will now try to reset everything: in a few days there is a Serie A match against Roma and Inter still has a Scudetto to win. Then his future could be abroad, given the climate in Italy: on him are several Premier League clubs and Barcelona itself, which has reportedly already contacted him in recent weeks.

Inter Milan legend Beppe Bergomi to Sky spoke precisely about the Nerazzurri player’s difficult moment: “On the technical-tactical aspect, I think Bastoni is going through a difficult moment, useless to deny it, and if you want to play him you have to put him in the best conditions, so not as a central player in the three-man defense,” he said, sending a message to coach Gattuso.
