Alexander canehis quarterback Interand his wife Camilla were bombarded with insults after the 2026 World Cup qualifier lost to Italy in Bosnia.
The red card received by Bastoni in the 41st minute started the disaster for Italy on Tuesday, who missed the third World Cup in a row after losing on penalties to Bosnia.

The Inter defender was held directly responsible and later criticized in the Italian media, with Squadra Azzurra supporters insulting him and his wife Camilla on social media.
In the face of such a bombardment, the Bastoni couple gave in and closed the comment sections of their Instagram accounts, and the daily Gazzetta dello Sport writes that, before the duel with Roma on Sunday, Cristi Chivu will have a crucial role in the mental recovery of his defender.

Gazzetta dello Sport: “How can you forget Italy's third consecutive absence from the World Cup, which you contributed to?”
“How can you leave behind such a decisive elimination? How can you forget Italy's third consecutive absence from the World Cup, which you contributed to with an absurd entry?
In this sense, the work of Inter and Chivu will be crucial to avoid losing one of Italy's best defenders until a few months ago“, writes the aforementioned publication.
Regarding the probable departure of Bastoni to Barcelona, the same Gazzetta dello Sport writes that, despite the mistake committed against Bosnia, the Blaufgrana group has not given up on the idea of transferring him. And Inter fixed the price.
Gazzetta dello Sport: “Maybe Barcelona could become the perfect refuge for Bastoni”
“The valuation was built around the amount of 70 million euros. The negative performance of the Italian defender has inevitably reached the whole world, and above all, it will be necessary to understand the psychological effects that Bastoni risks bringing with him from Zenica.
If the simulation against Juventus sent him into a whirlwind of whistles, the exit from the decisive final against Bosnia risks condemning him to a storm. At that point, perhaps Barcelona could become the perfect refuge. The Catalans are not giving up on his transfer“, writes the most important sports newspaper in Italy.
