REFEREE Claudia Romani went over the top with a racy Instagram shoot – but no fans are complaining.
The former Playboy cover model posted revealing lingerie snaps from overhead on Miami beach.
Often labelled as the world’s sexiest football official, she pushed the rules of Instagram to the limit.
But fans believe her daring outfit just stayed inside the lines as she picked up praise rather than a caution.
The Serie A-qualified ref was called “Bellissima, stupenda, meravigliosa” – not a Harry Potter spell but meaning “Beautiful, gorgeous, wonderful”.
Claudia, 41, has risked online red cards before.

She posed for a leggy shot in an AC Milan shirt.
Nowadays she openly boasts of her support for Milan on Instagram, where she had 1.3million Instagram fans.

Her followers, however, were more interested in her own transfer to the beach.
“Queen goddess,” said one, and “I’m in love with your bum in a thong,” posted a less-subtle enthusiast.
