Theo Hernandez turned what had started as an exciting night into a complicated one for Milan by picking up two yellow cards in less than 10 minutes, leading to his dismissal in his side’s Champions League knockout play-off against Feyenoord.

The French left-back first spoiled his night by receiving a yellow card in the closing minutes of the first half, which ruled him out of the next Champions League match.”
However, he worsened his situation shortly after the break, when he clearly dived instead of attempting to control the ball in the box from a promising position, prompting referee Szymon Marciniak to issue a red card and reduce Milan to ten men.
They like to drop Italian teams. Never happens to spanish or english teams.
Theo played like a punk and the team gave the game away. What an epic disaster.
Worst call I ever seen especially he’s already on yellow didn’t complain and ask for foul
You have to wonder what kind of dirt Felix has on Conceicao. whenever he has started, he has been horrific. Yet he won’t sub him off. Theo deserved that. The 1st yellow was so stupid and needless. That performance and ultimate mistake has been his season all over.
@acp oh please LOL, stop blaming referees for Italian clubs poor results. That shows how poor & weak Italian clubs’ mentality is. We’re all obviously behind Premier League & La.Liga clubs.
