Inter Milan fan: I did not intend to throw sunglasses at Morata

The owner of the sunglasses Juventus striker Alvaro Morata celebrated his goal against Inter Milan with is demanding they be given back.

Inter fan Simone claims he didn't "intentionally" throw them at Morata after the Juve striker scored.

"For a huge Inter fan like me, it really wasn't fun to see a Juve player put them on," 27-year-old Simone told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I was very angry at conceding the goal, as it completed the comeback and was basically a fluke from Samir Handanovic's mistake.

"Morata came to celebrate underneath the Curva where I was. I had my sunglasses in my hand, was agitated at the situation and they flew out of my hand.

"When I saw Bonucci pick them up and hand them to his team-mate, I tried to call out to them, but they didn't hear me.

"After the celebration Morata threw them to the side of the pitch and who knows where they ended up. I haven't seen them again. Fortunately, I only paid €2 for them at a market stall…

"It was an accident and I certainly didn't intentionally throw them."
