Marelli insists the goal should have been disallowed and explained why VAR didn’t intervene.

“Let’s nip a possible controversy in the bud,” he said. “On Milan’s first goal, Leao has a foot in the other half of the pitch.

“In theory, the goal should have been disallowed, but VAR doesn’t have jurisdiction over kick-off.”
