Massimiliano Allegri explained the actions that led to his expulsion in the match between Milan and Como, which ended in a 1-1 draw in the 24th round of Serie A. The Rossoneri coach received a red card in the 80th minute after a discussion with the opposing coaching staff, led by Cesc Fàbregas, when he called the referee's attention to a foul by the Como coach on Saelemaekers. Allegri stated, "My expulsion? I think there was a foul. Saelemaekers was trying to recover the ball and, in my opinion, Fàbregas grabbed him." When asked about Fàbregas admitting to committing a foul, Allegri responded sarcastically: "I understand, but next time someone runs down the sideline, I will also step onto the field and make a tackle. I went there to defend Saelemaekers and one of the Como staff attacked me," Allegri added. Two games later, Rafael Leão returned to the starting lineup for Milan and scored the equalizer in the 64th minute after Nico Paz had put Como ahead in the 32nd. "It was a difficult game, sometimes boring. Rafael Leão did well on the goal, as did Yashari on the assist. We need to stay calm and keep working," the coach emphasized.
