The Derby d’Italia was decided by a controversial incident in the first half, as Filip Kostic was left unmarked to drill into the far bottom corner.
However, Rabiot appeared to control the ball with his arm in the build-up, but a long VAR review was unable to find conclusive footage to overturn the referee’s decision.
It was remarkably similar to last week’s win over Sampdoria, where again Rabiot gave the impression of controlling with his arm, but the camera angles were not enough to consider it ‘a clear and obvious error.’
“There is a bitter sense of disappointment after a defeat that happened in this way,” Inzaghi told DAZN.
“We had said that we would not speak again about this after Monza in January, because something very serious happened. Tonight, something just as serious happened.
“We conceded a goal that is unacceptable in the age of VAR. It is even more unacceptable and disrespectful to hear them say there wasn’t clear footage. We are bitter and ask for respect.
“Talking about the game as a coach is difficult after that. I saw 20 different images that show it was his arm.”
Luca Marelli, the former referee and officiating pundit for DAZN, explained it was a very similar situation to last week against Sampdoria, that Rabiot has the sensation of handball, but no certainty, which is why the VAR check took so long.
“I listen to what a professional says, but I cannot accept it. What we saw was too serious, I honestly struggle to talk about the match.”
Inter dominated possession at San Siro, but ultimately forced few real saves from Wojciech Szczesny and were caught out on the counter.
