Milan were the better team over the two legs, earning a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford in the first game but succumbing to a 1-0 defeat in the return fixture as Paul Pogba’s goal early in the second half proved to be decisive. Injuries hurt Milan, who now must focus on a top four spot.
La Gazzetta dello Sport went with: “What the Devil! Europa League: Milan out of the cups too. Pogba comes on and is decisive (1-0): United go through. Penalty denied to Ibra: ‘We’ll win the league’.”
Tuttosport: “The Devil is Pogba. Roma, you are Italy! Milan eliminated: Frenchman comes on and seals 1-0 for United, who enter the Europa League quarter-finals.”
Il Corriere dello Sport: “Milan eliminated by United, just the Giallorossi in Europe. Pogba comes on after the break and wipes out the Rossoneri dreams. Ibrahimovic is not enough.”
