Silvio Berlusconi, the Chief Executive Officer at AC Milan, feels that the victory against Juve is much sweeter because of the controversial decision in their favour.
Controversy and the Serie A are never really far away and one does not have to wait for a long time to find them embroiled in a decision that would change the outcome of matches. From the top tier teams to the teams fighting it out in the relegation zone,
something or the other comes up that distorts the course of the match. The matches between the top sides naturally have more attention placed to them by the media personnel, and this further means that there is more scrutiny attached with these results as
well.
There have been many instances in this season, where the teams have found themselves to be on either side of a controversial refereeing decision. The Derby d’Italia tie had decisions being unjustly awarded to Juventus, as they got away with scoring a goal
that was offside in its build up and saw a player stay on the pitch for an overzealous tackle on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rodrigo-c31437 Palacio, which warranted a second yellow card. This gave Juve the opportunity to change the player before the start of the second half.
There is another match that the Bianconeri team played in that was subject to controversy, and this was the match between Juventus and AC Milan. The match was being played at the San Siro, and a dubious penalty was awarded to the Rossoneri for the alleged
handball by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robinho-c31382, and Berlusconi commented on the award of the penalty in their favour. He was quoted to have said:
"A dubious penalty? Beating Juventus like this makes the win even better for me. For the first time the players seemed to realise what it means to play for a club like Milan. I think I played a role in this. Juventus play some great football and [Antonio]
Conte has done some great work with his philosophy."
Juventus succumbed to their first away defeat in 18 months at the hands of Milan.
