Slavko Vincic officiated the clash between AC Milan and PSG last night, dishing out four yellow cards to the Rossoneri. The Slovenian, regardless if he handed out too many cards or not, lacked consistency.
Malick Thiaw and Rade Krunic were both booked within the first ten minutes, with the referee setting the tone early. However, as highlighted by today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), he then didn’t follow his own standards.
For example, Warren Zaire-Emery committed a foul on Olivier Giroud shortly after the first two yellow cards and wasn’t punished by the referee. VAR also needed to step in for a missed four in Milan’s favour on PSG’s 2-0 goal, which was disallowed.
Fikayo Tomori and Pierre Kalulu were both booked for very minor fouls in the second half, while Randal Kolo Muani escaped without a card on a more serious foul. At the end of the game, Rafael Leao shouted ‘f*ck you’ one metre from the referee and wasn’t punished either.
In short, the referee had no consistency whatsoever with the cards and in this game, it hurt Milan more.
