Following its 1-1 draw at Atalanta on Sunday, Napoli, which is embroiled in a dog fight with Roma, Lazio, Sampdoria and Fiorentina for one of Italy’s two up-for-grabs UEFA Champions Leagueslots, accused referee Gianpaolo Calvarese of “falsifying the league” after making a series of controversial decisions that favored the home team. Similar to Premier League giantChelsea’s penalty claim earlier this week, the Partenopei took to the Web, venting its frustration via its official Twitter account: “Refereeing like this is not worthy of Serie A and itfalsifies the league,” read the tweet on Sunday night. “This would never have happened in England.”
