In the end, they only came away with one point from the game, which can certainly be rephrased as two points dropped. Some of their rivals could now pass them in the standings, and tougher clashes are on the cards for Massimiliano Allegri’s men.
Today’s front pages highlighted the disappointment of the manager, who made it clear afterwards that they failed in many aspects. Indeed, the Rossoneri have themselves to blame for the poor result, no doubt about that.
