"The experienced Davide Massa has been chosen by the AIA for AC Milan's game against Fiorentina, but the Rossoneri have a very mixed record with the referee. It's been a season filled with refereeing controversy, perhaps it's under the microscope now more than ever, and Milan have been on the receiving end of some strange calls. Just a few days ago, in the 1-1 draw against Genoa, a seemingly non-existent penalty was given against the Rossoneri."
"At 44 years old, Massa is one of the most experienced referees in Italy and he has also officiated a lot of international games. Shifting focus to his record with Milan, tomorrow's game will be his 25th involving the Rossoneri, with 7 wins, 11 draws and 6 defeats for them so far. In other words, the record is very mixed and the fact that there have been so many draws is a concern, especially given the Rossoneri's current tendency to draw games."
Davide Massa has been named to referee Fiorentina versus AC Milan. At 44, Massa is among Italy's most experienced referees and has officiated many international matches.
