"The refereeing controversy at the end of the Serie A win featured a supposed Pavlovic handball. The ball had hit the Serbian defender's elbow from close range with the defender almost fully back to the ball. For such an event to be penalty worthy is at best questionable but to add a lengthy VAR review makes refereeing on par with player time wasting."
"In any event Allegri got himself red carded and is set to miss this week 14 match. The midweek match had Lazio take revenge of sorts and a tame Milan exited the competition and is left with one trophy to play for, two with the upcoming SuperCoppa. Milan's away record at Torino hasn't been good in the recent past. Milan have won only one of past 12 games at Torino."
Milan exited the Coppa Italia after a tame loss to Lazio following a prior 1-0 Serie A win. A late incident involving Pavlovic's elbow sparked a lengthy VAR review and controversy over a potential penalty, while Allegri received a red card and will miss the upcoming week 14 match. Pulisic is out ill, leaving Nkunku favored to start amid criticism over his summer transfer fee and limited impact. With Fofana injured, Loftus-Cheek is likely to start alongside Bartesaghi, Rabiot, Modric, and Saelemaekers. Tomori and Pavlovic should keep their places with Gabbia returning in front of Maignan. Maignan's future at the club appears uncertain.
