Rossi for Luca Pellegrini, Marusic and Guendouzi. Controversial tweet from the Roman club
Tense nerves and chaos at the Olimpico. Lazio ended the match against Milan with eight men, with three sent off in the second half. Two in the space of a few minutes. Luca Pellegrini, Marusic and Guendouzi left the field early and will miss the match on 11 March against Udinese at home.

The first expelled was Pellegrini, guilty – according to referee Di Bello – of having held Pulisic on the sideline. In reality, the full-back had stopped to allow the ball to go off the field, given that Castellanos had remained on the ground after suffering a blow to the head. The American, however, dribbled the former Juve player along the flank and he brought him down. Second yellow. In reality, Di Bello had not whistled for the foul, allowing the game to run. The second sent off was Marusic, in the 95th minute. The reason? Protests. While Guendouzi, the last of the reds waved by the referee, was sent off for having yanked Pulisic along the out line. Sparks flared at the end of the match, with an argument in the middle of the pitch and several players involved. The official Lazio account posted the image of Di Bello waving the red card, as a sign of protest towards the refereeing at the Olimpico.
