The sending off of Fikayo Tomori against Chelsea on Tuesday night was just another example of refereeing decisions in Europe going against AC Milan, a report claims.
As has been reported by Milan News, there are at least five instances of refereeing decisions going against Milan in European competition in recent years.
It has been a long road to get Milan back to regular European competition participation and upon arriving, the refereeing standard has proved to be very poor.
It seemed to start with a dive from Danny Welbeck in the 2018 Europa League tie against Arsenal which led to a Round of 16 knockout. In the same tournament in 2021, Franck Kessie had a goal ruled out for a seemingly mystical handball against Manchester United.
Moving onto the Champions League, there was the second yellow card handed to Kessie in a group game against Atletico Madrid which Milan were dominating and leading. It was a harsh decision by Cuneyt Cekir, but it didn’t stop there.
In stoppage time, a penalty was given for a Pierre Kalulu handball which was actually a handball by Thomas Lemar. Luis Suarez scored the penalty and Milan were beaten.
A week later, Milan were at the Estadio Do Dragao to play Porto and they were denied a clear penalty when Matheus Uribe had handled the ball. Then, Luis Diaz scored after a clear foul by Mehdi Taremi in the build-up which Felix Brych had missed.
The latest instalment is of course the sending off of Tomori against Chelsea on Tuesday night by Daniel Siebert.
Very nice article. Thank you Euan, Very sad state of affairs
Does somebody remember the goal shavchenko scored against barcelona but poyel fell on his ass and the goal was dissalowed?
Absolutely! Still hunting my memory!
Oh man i still remember that 🤦♂️
F🖕 UEFA!
I still remember that era of uefalona
I remember plenty of times Barcelona only beat us because Puyol or Xavi was flopping around like a seal in the penalty box. Another classic ref cock up last night to add to the collection
does anyone remember a penalty awarded to Barca, because of a pinch and ball was out of play. crooked UEFA REFS what ACM done for them, One may wonder why.
Did you remember there was a barcelona (uefalona) corner kick in which Puyol hugged Nesta and brought him down like it was a Judo match and then the referee gifted a penalty kick for barcelona (uefalona) due to it?
And the best part was that the so-called foul happened before the corner kick was even given so there is no possible way it should have been a penalty.
Ah Cekir
God my brain hurts so much reading that name
Fokin Kebab people ruining milan
