Milan President Silvio Berlusconi has claimed that his team's controversial last-minute penalty against Udinese was a long time coming.

The Rossoneri defeated the Zebrette 2-1 on Sunday night thanks to a late Mario Balotelli spot-kick.

But the former Prime Minister has insisted that referees very rarely give his team a decision, whilst also commenting on the new signing from Manchester City.

“The decision was very doubtful,” he told reporters. “But it was a pleasure for all Milan fans to get the decision.

“We have been due a decision this season though.

“Balotelli? I could not sleep after his goals.”
