Antonio Cassano expressed himself during an episode of Bobo TV about AC Milan - Atlético Madrid match in the Champions League:
"The Rossoneri dominated Atlético. But, the referee was scandalous, especially the VAR. Then, in a match like this, Kessié can't do certain things in the first half hour and leave his team down to 10 men."
Cassano continued to give his honest opinion on Kessié:
"If Kessié did not commit these naive mistakes, Milan would have won and would now have a better chance to pass the group. I can see this player at Bayern or at PSG, but he has to change his attitude. He is not the Kessié we knew. Him and Milan must find a solution for the contract renewal, otherwise the Rossoneri will keep him out of the team for 6 months."
