"AC Milan have been left angered by officiating for the second time in just a few days, this time following the shock defeat to Parma. As La Gazzetta dello Sport write, Milan's polite call to the AIA was 'ineffective'. In fact, the effect was the opposite of what was hoped for. After the Como draw, the Rossoneri left San Siro bitter about Van der Brempt's nasty foul on Pavlovic and the failure to send off Fabregas for holding Saelemaekers."
"The most shocking incident was when Corvi came out and punched Loftus-Cheek, who had run into the box following a Saelemaekers cross. The Parma goalkeeper didn't get the ball, which was headed clear by Valeri - as Milan pointed out - but only caught his opponent. In fact, it caused him an injury so bad that he has had to undergo surgery this morning, and his season could be over."
"According to Milan, the Parma defender wanted to disturb the goalkeeper to keep him from coming off his line, as Piccinini's assessment initially agreed with. However, the intervention of VAR changed his mind and, according to Milan's hierarchy, forced him to make a mistake. Itt wasn't a clear error and wasn't a situation requiring an on-field review in their eyes, as most experts agree."
AC Milan were angered by officiating after a shock defeat to Parma, marking a second recent complaint following a draw with Como. Milan protested that Van der Brempt's foul on Pavlovic and Fabregas's holding on Saelemaekers went unpunished in the Como match. In the Parma game, goalkeeper Corvi punched Loftus-Cheek after a Saelemaekers cross; the ball was headed clear by Valeri, and the contact injured Loftus-Cheek severely, requiring surgery and possibly ending his season. Players and club officials contested the referee's collision ruling. Milan also argued that Maignan was impeded by a Valenti block and criticized a VAR intervention that reversed an initial assessment.
