A game heavily conditioned by an arbitration decision after less than 20 minutes of play and an opportunity to play the match on an equal footing with the strongest opponent in the group. Too much to be silent at 90′ and so, Stefano Pioli – who throughout the match thought only of Milan – took out all his anger onreferee Siebert.
A scene that showed the bitterness of the Milan coach, who stayed to argue with the German game director. Theme, of course Tomori’s dismissal in the 18′ to make him the last man on Mt. A decision that left Milan at 10 and opened the door to success at Chelsea first with an advantage on the consequent penalty and then doubling up a few minutes later.
Stefano Pioli’s heartbreak arrives in direct Milan-Londonwith two defeats that weigh heavily on the dynamics of the group, but of a totally different nature: if in the 3-0 first leg the Blues put Milan under the table, at San Siro everything was decided by the referee whom the Rossonero coach did not have kind words: “It was a really decisive episode, you do your job and judge, I said what I thought to the referee, I don’t even speak English that fluently, but I think he understood what I had to say to him.”.
A Pioli that doesn’t get angry anymore, because anger gives way to regret: “A disappointment especially for our fans because we couldn’t give them an important game. I had the feeling that we could have played a good game against an already strong opponent who didn’t need to play with an extra man”. But the reality is that now for Milan everything will have to be decided in the last games.
The group was complicated even if the tie between Dinamo Zagreb and Salzburg was more than appropriate. Chelsea dominates with 7 points, ahead of Salzburg with 6, after Milan with 4: “If we want to stay in Europe, we will have to prove that we deserve it by winning the next two games. Fate is in our hands, We will have to get three points in Zagreb and then play it all here at San Siro against Salzburg.”
