Milan‘s clash with Atalanta which could see them take a huge step towards winning the Scudetto will be refereed by Daniele Orsato with Massimiliano Irrati the designated VAR official.
Victory for Milan coupled with a draw or defeat for Inter against Cagliari in Sunday’s later match would see the Rossoneri crowned champions as they would move three points clear of the table with one match remaining but be uncatchable due to their better head-to-head.
But Milan have not won at San Siro with Orsato as referee since January 6, 2010 when they beat Genoa – then managed by Gian Piero Gasperini – 5-2.
Inter’s clash with Cagliari will be officiated by Daniele Doveri with Marco Di Bello on VAR duties.
In more bad omens for Milan fans, their last victory over Atalanta at home was on January 6, 2014 when Kaka scored a brace in 3-0 win.
Of the subsequent seven matches, Milan have drawn four and lost three.
A draw against Atalanta would mean Milan have to beat Sassuolo in their final match of the campaign to guarantee the title.
If Milan win and Inter loses, 5 points ahead, not 3. A victory for MIlan and Inter not winning in Sardinia is needed in any case
And Orsato for this match …. no comments. Maybe those conspiracy theories are true after all..
Orsato is in the pocket of Big VAR-ma.
Best I could do.
Hopefully he’s better than in the Champions League Semi :/
It is the highest time to broke those statistics-to beat Atalanta at home and win at home with Orsato as a referee.
Hopefully,Cagliari might help us by grabbing at least one point against Inter.
Good luck guys, sempre Milan!
Most experience above others and also well known as anti-Inter refs
bye bye scudetto to Milan. Orsato is gonna decide this title race surely.. Inter won’t slip up in their 2 matches. Orsato will do his best to get Atalanta the dub.
Di Bello (Inter – Torino ref) on VAR for Inter match? lol
We know how that’s going to go.
I don’t want to hide the fact that I’m happy Orsato is appointed alongside DiBello as they are both hates Inter. Let’s win scudetto this week!
A known Milan hater for such a crucial match, nice one calico nice one
