"In case you have missed the fall-out after the Roma game, a video compilation went viral showing the referee Andrea Colombo doing several questionable things during incidents involving Milan players. The official seemed to physically stop Adrien Rabiot from apologising to Mile Svilar after a collision inside the box, he booked Luka Modric despite it being the Croatian who had been slammed into, and he got so close to Mike Maignan before the penalty that they stepped on each other."
"Now, DAZN have revealed a clip showing an exchange between Maignan and Colombo before a ball had even been kicked. The Roma players were lined up in the tunnel and as Milan followed them out of the dressing room, the following can be heard. š£ Colombo: "Maignan, we're waiting for you, we're late come on." š£ Maignan: "There's only six players." š£ Colombo: "Hurry up!" š£ Maignan: "Calm down! Oh!""
A clip from AC Milan's match against Roma shows tension between referee Andrea Colombo and Milan players before kickoff. The footage captures Colombo instructing goalkeeper Mike Maignan to hurry as players exited the tunnel, with a short heated verbal exchange. Earlier incidents in the match included Colombo appearing to stop Adrien Rabiot from apologising to Mile Svilar, booking Luka Modric after Modric was struck, and getting unusually close to Maignan before a penalty, causing them to step on each other. Milan have been fined multiple times this season for late exits from the dressing room. The confrontational tones from both sides contributed to increased on-field tension.
