It was another night to forget for Malick Thiaw last night during the defeat against Juventus, or rather 40 minutes given his outing was cut short.

Tuttosport (via MilanNews) writes how after the 5-1 derby loss against Inter, Thiaw was the protagonist of another serious mistake against Juventus last night as the German centre-back committed a last-man foul after being spun by Moise Kean.
He was consequently sent off by referee the Maurizio Mariani and it was a red card that heavily influenced the game. Milan ultimately left the pitch with no points following Manuel Locatelli’s deflected shot in the second half, which would be the winner.
Up until that moment Milan were controlling the match without risking anything, but clearly that episode changed everything and from there a new match began.
For Thiaw, unfortunately, this is a ‘relapse’ given that he had made a similar mistake in the derby. In that case, from his mistake on Thuram, the Nerazzurri scored and took the lead after a few minutes.
Last night he made another grave error once again due to marking. The German was surprised by Kean, who he pushed up on instead of dropping off but did little to stop him flicking the ball and spinning.
At that point, the Rossoneri centre-back was forced to haul him down with a foul and hence the correct decision came from Mariani.
