  • 31' Gianluigi Donnarumma needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 36' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Diego Laxalt suffering a number of foals already.
