MN: Maldini breaks club policy – another decisive officiating error was the final straw

As a result of a very poor performance, and a mistake by VAR, AC Milan only claimed one point against Udinese. It was another frustrating night, therefore, and Paolo Maldini went against club policy afterwards. 

Rafael Leao gave Milan the lead in the first half but after that, the Rossoneri struggled to create chances and seemingly opted to sit back instead. Eventually, Udinese found their equaliser but it should have been disallowed for a clear handball.

As highlighted by MilanNews, one particular event that followed was the interview of Paolo Maldini with MilanTV. It was the first time that a director (since Maldini joined) took part in a post-match interview with the intention of complaining about a clear and evident refereeing error.

Milan, usually, don’t want to speak about the referees in interviews and especially not the directors of the club. After so many mistakes made in their games, though, it was the final straw and Maldini thus decided to ‘go against’ club policy. Even so, his interview was very respectful, simply arguing his case.
