The national team player and his family are suffering the worst from the arrow of failure to advance to the World Cup finals. Alessandro Bastoni (27, Inter Milan), a defender of the Italian national soccer team, was accused of causing the team's disaster with a decisive Red Card, and his wife's social networking service was indiscriminately attacked.

Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 2nd (Korea Standard Time) that "Bastonie and his wife Camilla Bresciani blocked SNS due to vile abusive language and insulting messages pouring out after their defeat in Bosnia and Herzegovina."

According to local reports, Bastoni and his wife's SNS accounts are set up so that only family and acquaintances can comment.

Italy's national centre-back Bastoni has been treated as a traitor for just one game. During the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup European regional playoff pass A final in Zenica, Bosnia on the 1st, Italy gained momentum with Mois Kean's first goal in the 15th minute of the first half.

However, in the 41st minute of the first half, Bastoni's bad Red Card shook the game.

Bastoni made an unreasonable tackle from behind to stop Amar Memmich, who had a one-on-one chance with goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in Bosnia's counterattack. The referee immediately pulled out the red card, judging that it was a clear blocking of the scoring opportunity, and Bastoni had to leave the ground with his head down.

Italy, which was outnumbered, held on with the save of goalkeeper Donnarumma, but allowed Haris Tabakovic to score an equalizer in the 34th minute of the second half. In the end, the game led to a penalty shootout, and the kickers missed in a row and lost to Bosnia. As a result, Italy suffered an unprecedented disaster in which it could not make the World Cup stage for three consecutive times until the 2026 tournament, following Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022. Italy is the first country in which a four-time World Cup winner failed to advance to the finals for three consecutive times.

According to the Italian media 'Corriere dello Sport', angry fans targeted Bastoni for criticism. In particular, the arrow of attack went beyond Bastoni himself to his wife Camilla and four-year-old daughter Azura. It is known that the couple eventually decided to close the communication channel when the level of abusive language that was hard to put into their wife's personal space was plastered.

Bastoni will now return to his team Inter Milan to calm down. Inter Milan currently lead Serie A by six points over second-place AC Milan.

Meanwhile, Bosnia, which beat Italy and confirmed its second ever World Cup qualification, will compete in Group B with Canada, Qatar and Switzerland this summer. In another playoff held on the same day, Sweden (Pass B) beat Poland, and Turkiye (Pass C) defeated Kosovo. The Czech Republic (Pass D) also beat Denmark and faced off against the South Korean national soccer team in the finals.
