Tension in the final of the match won 1-0 by the Rossoneri: the Milan goalkeeper, who later denounced having received racist insults, reacts to the provocations of the curve and is surrounded by the Rossoblù players. Tomori defends him, then Ibra arrives and the nervousness skyrockets, up to a great turmoil with several players involved, but fortunately they do not come to blows. But it is not the first time that we have seen these scenes in Cagliari
CHE BENNACER, DEFENSE AT THE TOP: THE REPORT CARDS OF CAGLIARI-AC MILAN

Moments of tension at the final whistle of Cagliari v AC Milan. After having controlled the game for a long time, the Rossoneri risk being overtaken in the last minutes by the vehement reaction of Cagliari, which stops on Pavoletti’s crossbar. Maignanwho in the second half had defended the goal under the curve of the home fans, rejoices but is reached first by a bottle, then by a ball and then by some racist slurs, as Pioli reported to our microphones a few minutes later. The Milan goalkeeper is not there and reacts, challenging the curve by putting his hands to his ears with a provocative but absolutely insignificant gesture compared to the unsuitable epithets that have been addressed to him. Tomori approaches him and hugs him, then he too looks at the curve of the Sardinians. But the Mazzarri playerswho obviously cannot have heard the insults directed at the Milan goalkeeper, react in turn and they go to surround the two Rossoneri, evidently already at the height of his nervousness. It is the spark that sets off the fuse: in a few seconds they are all in the middle of the field, some trying to divide the others, some pushing to get summary justice. The tension is sky high, but luckily it does not come to blows. The most agitated of all seems to be Ibrahimovicwho begins a long-distance confrontation with the Cagliari captain João Pedro. Pioli and Maldini also took part and with difficulty the situation was recomposed, even if our correspondents on the sidelines tell us about a decidedly electric passage in the tunnel.

However, nothing serious happened between him and me, they are matters of the field“number 10 explained, adding di not having “heard insults from the Cagliari fans. These are delicate things and always difficult to deal with, but I have not heard anything”.

The Milan coach also commented on the moments of tension Stefano Pioli who reported the reconstruction made by Maignan himself: “Mike and Tomori revealed to me that they had received racist insults from the Cagliari corner. It had already happened in Maignan, but he never answered. I find it sad that such things still happen“Even the Rossoneri club itself took a position through a tweet:” Today was the day against racism – Milan recalled at the end of the match – but we still have a long way to go and we must do it all together. “
