The elimination from the Italian Cup was not well received at home by Milan. The episodes that this challenge produced have forced all the red and black actors to react strongly by attacking VAR. Even Giorgio Furlani could not remain silent: "Two episodes determined the race. A penalty to our disadvantage where it is clear that the defender touched the ball and a penalty not given for handball by Holm. We have a bitter taste for this elimination, but also for the way it came about. Now everything is a chaos, nothing is understood", said the manager of Milan after the match.
Stefano Pioli was also direct in his reaction: "The match changed after a non-existent penalty, that's the truth. Then we got confused. "We are sorry to be eliminated in this way as we wanted to do well in the Cup," said Pioli. Milan's protests were joined by Rafa Leao, who on social networks brought back the moment of the penalty won by Atalanta: "Unbelievable", writes Leao in the video.

Not only at Milan, coach Gasperini also has dissatisfaction with the way the referee of the match managed this confrontation: "VAR is an excellent instrument, but on the field it is a war, there is competition between the referees on the field and those in VAR, it is no longer understood who referees, is a very big problem", emphasized Gaspetini, who was punished with a red card for protests.
Milan lost last night at home to Atalanta with a score of 1-2 in the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup.

But after two minutes, in the second minute of extra time, Teun Koopmeiners scored to equalize the score at 1-1. The second half started with a bang from both sides, who had chances, but it was the guests who scored. It was the 57th minute, when Atalanta won the penalty, while Koopmeiners was correct from the penalty spot, leading to the 1-2 result and the end of this meeting with this result. With this victory, Atalanta moved to the semi-finals where they will meet Fiorentina.
