In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, AC Milan lost 2-0 at home. Not only that, but the referee also made three unfavorable decisions against Inter, with Kjaer pushing Lautaro and Krunic elbowing Bastoni to escape penalties.
The first controversy came in the 30th minute when Lautaro burst into the box and dunked past Tomori before being pushed down by Kjaer behind him. After awarding the penalty, the referee looked back in slow motion and cancelled the penalty.
The second controversy came in the 75th minute of the match, when Krunic was close to Bastoni when he suddenly lost control of his emotions and punched his opponent in the ribs, and Bastoni fell to the ground in response. Surprisingly, after intervening in the decision, the video assistant referee actually believed that Krunic had not committed a foul and therefore did not show a red card.
Sky Sports commented, "He punched his opponent in the ribs. Well, it's a derby. Even though Krunic was too naughty, there were no penalties. ”
Just 3 minutes later, the video assistant referee stepped in again to make a decision, Çalhanoğlu shot in front of the box, the ball was blocked by Gaff, Çalhanoğlu signaled the opponent to handball. However, in slow motion, the ball bounced off his hand after hitting Gaff's body, and the referee made the correct decision.
