Roma took the lead against Milan in the first half of the Europa League quarter-finals. The central defender found the net from a corner kick, with Dybala delivering a very precise corner for the head of number 23. However, the goal unleashed the Roma fans, but also the Milan fans who ignited social media with their controversies due to the position of Lukaku who, according to them, was offside. The VAR did not intervene on the matter with the referee letting it play on, without stopping everything for offside. Roma, Mancini thanks the fans for the collection: 'Return the proceeds to charity'. What happened. At the 17th minute of the first half, Mancini's header from a corner arrived. However, before that action, Lukaku is served beyond the Milan defenders. However, the referee did not whistle for the offside position and let the game continue with the action ending with El Shaarawy's shot, deflected by Gabbia and sent to the corner by Maignan. The French goalkeeper stretches and sends the Roman's attempt over the crossbar, which, according to Milan fans, should not have been there due to the Belgian's offside. A decision that unleashed the Milan fans who protested on social media: 'But how is it possible? The linesman wasn't even in line with the defense, are we joking?'. Another admits: 'Roma is deserving, but the corner shouldn't have been there because it was offside'. And again: 'Offside by a meter, embarrassing linesman.'
