"Mariano Troilo jumped over Bartesaghi and headed the ball in while Lautaro Valenti was impeding Maignan's movement. Marco Piccinini said no goal but a change was made after consultation with VAR and checking the on pitch monitor. Valenti's subtle but real action was ignored but the goal was given on the basis that there was no foul on Bartesaghi."
"So now Milan has fallen back -10 points behind Inter and has to concentrate and fight to retain a top four spot. Milan start by first visiting the team that inflicted the opening day loss before the unbeaten run started."
"The lineup remains in flux with Loftus-Cheek definitely out after he suffered a broken jaw in a contact with Edoardo Corvi, Parma's goalie. A non-reviewed incident. Fofana might return to his spot leaving Jashari and Ricci on the bench."
Milan's unbeaten streak was broken by Parma following a disputed goal where Mariano Troilo headed in while Lautaro Valenti impeded goalkeeper Maignan's movement. Referee Marco Piccinini initially disallowed the goal but reversed the decision after VAR consultation, focusing on whether Valenti fouled Bartesaghi rather than addressing the goalkeeper obstruction. This controversial decision exemplifies how refereeing has influenced Milan's results. The loss drops Milan ten points behind Inter, forcing focus on securing top-four placement. Loftus-Cheek's broken jaw from contact with Parma's goalkeeper complicates lineup decisions. Milan faces Cremonese with potential changes including Fofana's return and continued partnership of Pulisic and Leao. Four players risk suspension for the derby, though Allegri may deploy them regardless.
