Theo Hernández's red card against Feyenoord has crushed AC Milan's hopes to progress to the 16th round of the Champions League.
Despite a 1-0 defeat at Stadion Feijenoord in the first leg a week ago, the Rossoneri were in a strong position, taking an advantage of a goal that could only pave their way to the next stage of knockout.
The newcomer from AC Milan, Santiago Giménez, opened the advantage in the first minute of the game, after an assistance from his German teammate Malick Thiaw.
However, Kyle Walker and Co saw their possibilities sabotaged by an incident that spoiled the night for Rossoneri fans in San Siro.
The former Real Madrid star, Theo Hernández, was shown a second yellow letter by referee Szymon Marciniak after an alleged simulation within the opponent's picture.
Parties repetitions have shown that, after a quick counterattack followed by a pass by Rafael Leao, instead of trying to control the ball, France's international clearly immersed himself in an attempt to win a criminal shot for his team.

In addition, the game officer, Marciniak, insisted on his decision to obtain a second yellow card despite Hernández and Walker begging the referee to reconsider.
With only 10 men in the field, it was only a matter of time before Feyenoord took the lead again, despite registering only one shot in the target throughout the game.
Julian Carranza, who appeared in the field in the middle of the second half, has scored the draw, and the winner in aggregate, in the 73rd minute.
After the dismissal of Hernández, Milan made an attempt to control the game playing the loan of Chelsea Joao Felix in a false position of nine.
However, after seeing Carranza find the background of the network, the former Premier League star, Tammy Abraham, entered the match in the 83rd minute, but failed to have a strong impact.
The hopes were high in San Siro after the new band of the manager Sergio Concicao won the Italian Super Cup final against the rivals and Inter of Milan favorite last month, just a game after his arrival.
But they seem to lack solidity in the National League, currently sitting in the seventh place at the Biper A table, with only 11 victories of 24 games.
Milan has already qualified for the semifinal of Coppa Italia, waiting for his opponent between Inter and Lazio, who will face February 25.
