"Adrien Rabiot has sent a message to the Pisa-Milan referee, and the officiating team in general, with a story on Instagram. Rabiot was sent off in the dying minutes of the Rossoneri's 2-1 win, first receiving a yellow card for a light touch on a Pisa player. Evidently not happy with the call, he said a few words to the referee and ended up getting a second yellow card."
"The Frenchman was on four yellow cards before the game so once he received the first yellow, he was always going to miss the Como game. However, the red card means he will remain on four yellow cards, so another suspension will be just around the corner."
"In any case, on his Instagram story, Rabiot sent a signal to the referee albeit not about the above. Instead, it was Niclas Fullkrug's penalty that upset the Frenchman as a Pisa defender was clearly in the box when it was taken, while the goalkeeper was also off his line."
"As per the regulations, the referee made the right decision as neither of these had an effect on the outcome, or supposedly so anyway. One can certainly understand Milan's frustrations, though."
Adrien Rabiot was sent off in the closing minutes of Milan's 2-1 win after receiving a yellow for a light touch and then a second yellow for protesting to the referee. He entered the match with four yellow cards, so the first yellow would have caused a suspension for the Como game; the red card leaves him on four yellows, making another suspension likely. On Instagram Rabiot highlighted Niclas Fullkrug's penalty, noting a Pisa defender in the box and the goalkeeper off his line. The regulations state the referee's decision stood because neither infringement affected the outcome, though Milan remain frustrated.
