Adrien Rabiot has sent a message to the Pisa-Milan referee, and the officiating team in general, with a story on Instagram.
Rabiot was sent off in the dying minutes of the Rossoneri’s 2-1 win, first receiving a yellow card for a light touch on a Pisa player. Evidently not happy with the call, he said a few words to the referee and ended up getting a second yellow card.
The Frenchman was on four yellow cards before the game so once he received the first yellow, he was always going to miss the Como game. However, the red card means he will remain on four yellow cards, so another suspension will be just around the corner.
Rabiot’s Instagram story
In any case, on his Instagram story, Rabiot sent a signal to the referee albeit not about the above. Instead, it was Niclas Fullkrug’s penalty that upset the Frenchman as a Pisa defender was clearly in the box when it was taken, while the goalkeeper was also off his line.
As per the regulations, the referee made the right decision as neither of these had an effect on the outcome, or supposedly so anyway. One can certainly understand Milan’s frustrations, though.
