In the Coppa Italia final, an incident occurred that felt similar to those recently experienced by Juventus. Beukema elbowed Gabbia, but despite a VAR check by Mazzoleni (the same official involved in the expulsions of Yildiz and Kalulu), no red card was shown. Gazzetta quoted Gabbia on the play. When asked if Beukema`s elbow was a red card offense, Gabbia replied: `The images are clear, and I won`t add anything more about that. I prefer to say we should have performed better as a team. It`s tough not bringing the Coppa Italia back to Milan.`
