AC Milan coach Max Allegri exchanged heated words with Como's Cesc Fabregas following their 1-1 Serie A draw. The incident occurred when Fabregas pulled Saelemaekers' shirt, prompting Allegri to confront him, resulting in Allegri receiving a red card.
After the match, Allegri reportedly told Fabregas, "You're a big idiot. You're a kid who started coaching yesterday." Fabregas later apologized for his unsportsmanlike gesture, admitting he "made an unsportsmanlike gesture" and hoped never to repeat it.
