Last night, AC Milan beat Atalanta in Bergamo by winning 2-0 thanks to Kessié converting two penalties which helped us secure the top 4 Serie A finish and thus return to the Champions League.
Today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport discusses, as per usual, referee Mariani who was the author of a decent performance.
He signaled a penalty in the favour of the Rossoneri twice at the 40th minute and the 92nd minute and both were correct calls. (In the first action, there was contact from behind on Theo Hernàndez while on the second, the ball hit Gosens' arm)
De Roon was given a red card, which was deserved after hitting Rade Krunic, then he pushed the midfielder, so there is the risk of a longer suspension now.
Atalanta's player Romero also risked having a red card for a foul against Rafael Leao, who was running towards the goal defended. According to the newspaper, in that circumstance, Mariani should have intervened. The VAR, on the other hand, remained silent as it was not a clear situation. In these cases, the judgment always goes to the referee.
