A video that has gone viral in Italy appears to show referee Marco Guida kicking Milan winger Alexis Saelemaekers while the Belgian was celebrating Mike Maignan’s penalty save.
Milan-Roma referee Guida appeared to kick Rossoneri winger Saelemaekers after Maignan saved a Paulo Dybala penalty in the second half of a Serie A match at San Siro last night.
Saelemaekers couldn’t contain his joy after Maignan’s crucial intervention, but seemed to be kicked on his right leg by the referee.
Former Serie A official Graziano Cesari showed the video on TV last night and said (via Calciomercato.com): “Guida made a serious error, it’s an unacceptable behaviour for a referee.
“He could have booked Saelemaekers, but he didn’t and really crossed the line.”
Ora mi spiegate perché Guida redarguisce Saelemaker che esulta?
Non si può nemmeno più esultare? pic.twitter.com/Z3ATqpdJm3
