Speaker: But the big incident of the game was Cristiano Biragi having his head cracked open by missiles thrown by West Ham fans. What do you make of that, Nima?
Speaker: I think that's the biggest scandal here, more than the penalty, which I think is debatable. I think it was Biragi's hand was a little bit too high for my liking to touch the ball with his hand. But to me, this is a scandal. The captain of one of the teams playing the final was bleeding heavily from the head after having something hurled at him.
Speaker: I don't understand why this game wasn't abandoned because that to me is unacceptable. That's not a safe working environment. That's not a safe environment. This is something that we thought belonged to the past. And there is grounds there to abandon the game. Again, the captain of one of the teams was bleeding heavily from the head after having an object. I don't know what object hurled at his head and was bleeding heavily.
Speaker: and the referee didn't do anything. That's not a safe environment, and I don't understand how they were allowed to get away with it. I'm genuinely disgusted. That, to me, is the biggest scandal. Speaking of scandals and chaos, what is going on at Milan after Gericardinales Sacks, Maldini, and Massada?
Speaker: Yeah, it's not a good look at all. It's really, really bad PR for the club. I mean, the announcement, I think it was a 76 words afforded to the biggest legend in the history of Milan. I mean, the fans are furious. The players, many players are not happy. Multiple reports of Rafael Liao, Teo Hernandez, Mike Manon considering their futures.
Speaker: I understand that you can't be too sentimental but Maldini is so important for Milan and football is not just science, it's not just spreadsheets and I think they've made a mistake.
