Overview
- Late in Milan–Fiorentina, contact between Parisi and Gimenez led to a VAR-recommended on-field review around the 80th minute and a penalty for Milan.
- Referee Livio Marinelli had initially let play continue, before VAR official Abisso advised a monitor check citing a hand to the face and a brief hold.
- After viewing the footage, Marinelli awarded the penalty, but AIA figure Andrea De Marco said the on-field decision should have stood under the clear-and-obvious standard.
- De Marco criticized Gimenez for accentuating the fall and compared the episode to the Thuram–Bonny case in Juventus–Inter, where VAR did not intervene.
- The refereeing commission is evaluating near-term steps to deter simulation, with the return of 'prova tv' described as an idea under consideration rather than a set policy.
