Parma End Milan’s Unbeaten Run Amid VAR Controversy
AC Milan’s pursuit of the Scudetto suffered a significant setback on Sunday as the Rossoneri fell to a 1-0 home defeat against Parma. The result ended a remarkable 24-match unbeaten streak for Massimiliano Allegri’s side and leaves them 10 points adrift of league leaders Inter Milan. Despite the return of Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leão to the squad, the hosts struggled to break down a resilient Parma defence.
The match was overshadowed by a controversial late winner from Parma, which survived a lengthy VAR review. Former Serie A officials have since questioned the decision not to overturn the goal, specifically citing a block on Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan. Midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek expressed his frustration post-match, suggesting the “On-Field Review” process lacked consistency. The defeat leaves Milan in second place with 54 points, narrowly holding a four-point lead over Napoli.
