The full picture
Max Allegri was given a straight red card on the touchline during Napoli's 3-3 draw with Roma after reacting angrily to a Leonardo Balerdi equaliser being given the all-clear by VAR. The coach was shown the red card by referee Andrea Colombo after fourth official Juan Luca Sacchi alerted him. Allegri had apparently complained to Sacchi about the goal not being disallowed.
Allegri's reaction to the red card was furious, with him shouting "What did I say? Tell me what I said? No, no!" as he took off his jacket. He initially stormed off but then returned towards the pitch and the fourth official, with members of staff trying to hold him back. The incident may result in a suspension longer than one match.
The controversy surrounding the Balerdi goal involved Napoli complaining about a possible foul by Balerdi on Sam Beukema. Although there was contact, Beukema had gotten back up and continued playing before later clutching his ribs after the goal was scored, suggesting the foul may not have been significant or directly related to the goal.
