Yeah.
I'll go a step further, I'll think like an Italian football conspiracy theorist and add that the moment Milan came relatively close to Inter on the table, the refs gave Milan 5 penalty kicks in their favor and 3 red cards for their opponents in 4 consecutive matches.
When Inter beat Milan and it became clear that Milan won't be the "anti-Inter" I said in this same thread that on the next couple of matches or more, the refs will suddenly stop helping Milan. And it happened. Against Livorno and Bologna they got nothing and they couldn't win of course.
Now they'll need confidence before the CL match and they'll have to win the match.
Expect one or two penalties.
I'm crazy?
Nope, it's the Italian way.
