Juventus GM Marotta angry over claims from Spurs boss Pochettino: This is wrong

Juventus GM Beppe Marotta has been angered by comments from Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino in the wake of last week's Champions League clash.

Juve reached the quarterfinals after victory at Wembley, but Pochettino has since claimed Marotta, along with other high-ranking Bianconeri directors, put pressure on the match officials at halftime.

Marotta denies the claims, insisting: "No, they are unfounded things, we are not used to these things.

"We have taken note of this wrong assessment, but we have not had the opportunity to express our disappointment. I greeted the referee in the tunnel, but there was no grievance on our part."
