Rennes-Milan heats up due to the penalty kick awarded to the French for a foul by Kjaer. The Danish defender knocked down Terrier in an attempt to anticipate him at the edge of the area. The center-back, however, only found the legs of the French number 7 and for this reason the referee decided to award the shot from eleven meters. Great controversy from the Milanese players and their fans, who on social media loudly demanded the intervention of the Var. The latter, however, did not intervene, thus allowing Rennes to find the temporary 2-1.

What happened

At 52' Terrier receives the ball at the edge of the area and Kjaer tries to anticipate him to snatch the ball. In the attempt, however, the Dane only hit the right leg of the French midfielder who let himself fall. Pinheiro saw the foul of number 24 and decided to award the penalty without going through the On Field Review. The protests on social media were several. Opening X in fact reads: "Ridiculous penalty", "But how can you whistle such a penalty?" and again: "What happened to the Var?".

The other episode

In addition to the damage, the mockery because at 66' Pinheiro went right to the sideline to review a hand touch in the area by Jovic. The Serb, who had been forgiven for the two-day disqualification with a goal, deflects with the arm a free kick in the area for which the controversies of the Rennes players had been unleashed. From the spot, Bourigeaud always started who scored the temporary 3-2.
