Watch: Fabregas holds Saelemaekers back to provoke furious reaction and Allegri red card

Massimiliano Allegri was given a red card last night, but it should’ve potentially been the other way around and AC Milan can, and will, feel hard done by. 

In split seconds, brief moments can change games and Milan may have witnessed that last night, as Allegri was given a red card on the sidelines for his reaction to an incident in the 78th minute. Whilst it may not have been clear at the time, footage shows it clearly.

Fabregas’ pull

As seen below, with Como collecting the ball, Alexis Saelemaekers attempts to start to try and get the ball back. Here, Cesc Fabregas clearly reaches out to hold the Belgian back, and the winger’s reaction is instant.

Allegri, understandably, was fuming at this. Yet, instead of the Spaniard being sent on his way, the Italian was shown a red and missed the final 10 minutes, which have often been crucial for the Rossoneri.

A ridiculous decision, and he will now be suspended.

  1. Como is the dirtiest team, constantly looking to provoke.
    They always pull this kind of sh*t.
    And they are danm good at it.
    And I don’t mid a little gamesmanship to be honest.

    But then Cesc comes out and acts like they are prime Barcelona, winning only on technical skil. Makes me laugh.

    Parking a bus and sh*thousery all day long.
