Vitiello: Why Milan are penalised by referees despite contrary narrative
""The rhetoric that AC Milan are favoured by the referees because that's what they decided has been rife since the beginning of the season. But who decides? Let us know, because there's been a political vacuum at the Rossoneri for some time now, and everyone knows it. "It's funny, though, that the message is being conveyed that AC Milan are favoured, when in fact it's the exact opposite. Against Lazio, for example, it's clear that there wasn't a penalty awarded to the Biancocelesti; it was obvious to go to VAR, and in fact, the AIA confirmed it.""
""However, the media is leaking that AC Milan were favoured; Lazio even declared a press blackout and posted a post saying "the images speak for themselves." Indeed, if anyone had seen those images, they'd know there was no penalty. "Pavlovic is facing away, already falling, and Romagnoli kicks from 30 centimetres. It's truly absurd to even think about a penalty. "Here, however, we've collected some incidents that went unnoticed but were actually serious errors, certainly not for a favoured Milan. In Lecce-Milan, a penalty was missed on Ricci;""
AC Milan continue to be involved in frequent refereeing controversies alongside previous managerial and player issues. Incidents this season include Alexis Saelemaekers, Strahinja Pavlovic, and a disputed Christopher Nkunku penalty. Paulo Fonseca previously complained about officials, while Massimiliano Allegri adopted a less confrontational stance. Claims of refereeing favouritism toward Milan circulate, but counterexamples are cited, including a Lazio match where no penalty was deemed appropriate and the AIA reportedly confirmed VAR intervention. A number of overlooked incidents, such as a missed penalty on Ricci in Lecce-Milan, are presented as significant refereeing errors.
