Theo Hernandez's 27th birthday was marred by a poor performance during AC Milan's 2-1 loss to Fiorentina, where he was involved in multiple pivotal moments. He conceded a penalty for a foul on Dodo, which was saved by goalkeeper Mike Maignan, and later missed his own penalty attempt against David De Gea. Despite providing an assist for Christian Pulisic's equalizer, Hernandez's night ended in controversy as he received a red card for verbally confronting referee Luca Pairetto after the final whistle. This ejection is expected to result in a suspension of at least two matches, leaving Milan without their captain during a crucial period. The team is already facing challenges with other key players injured, complicating their lineup further. Hernandez's actions have sparked criticism given his leadership role and the need for maturity at this stage of his career.
