The Rossoneri will take on Inter in the Derby Della Madonnina next weekend and a win against Spezia would have put more pressure on the Nerazzurri. The latter will face Lazio this evening and could leapfrog Milan with a win.
Either way, the derby will now be absolutely crucial for both sides as the momentum a derby win gives you could be decisive in the Scudetto race. On Twitter, Milan fans were livid with the performance of the Rossoneri and voiced their opinions.
Pioli, and the rest of the Milan players for that matter, perhaps shouldn’t look on social media tomorrow. Or maybe they should, as it could fuel them to do better. Take a look at some of the reactions below.

As some have pointed out, yet another team that has pressed us high up and packed the midfield to stop our passing combinations. We could barely get out of our half today, long balls aside. Outthought and outfought. We need a Plan B against this kind of approach.
