While Christian Pulisic and Pierre Kalulu were injured, Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao were visibly irritated with Milan coach Stefano Pioli when they were substituted against Napoli.
Giroud had scored twice to give them a 2-0 half-time lead and did not hide his annoyance and disbelief when he was replaced by Luka Jovic 10 minutes from time.
In frustration, he screamed ‘noooo’ and waved his hands, then refused to sit on the bench when he got off, instead taking a seat on an ice box.
Rafael Leao was replaced at the same time by Noah Okafor, and DAZN pitchside reporters claim the Portugal international was equally enraged.
When he arrived at the touchline, he continued to ask Pioli “why?” and had to be calmed down by a teammate Alessandro Florenzi.
During the match at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, there were also two forced substitutions.
Kalulu went off in 18 minutes, but preliminary reports indicate that it was a thigh bruise rather than a muscular problem.
Pulisic, on the other hand, had assisted Giroud and left the game at halftime with a muscular twinge.
