AC Milan got both the result and the performance that they desperately needed against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday night, with a number of players standing out for how well they played.
The victory means that Milan still have a chance of getting into the round of 16 of the Champions League, but they will need to pick up a good haul of points from their final two games against Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund.
Today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below) has taken a look at the performances of each player and have named Rafael Leao as the standout performer with an 8.5 out of 10. He scored the equaliser for Milan and was a threat throughout.
There were some strong scores in the defence with Mike Maignan and Davide Calabria getting 7/10, whilst Fikayo Tomori, Malick Thiaw and Theo Hernandez got 6.5. Calabria did particularly well to limit the impact of Kylian Mbappe.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek was the best player in the midfield with a 7.5, whilst Tijjani Reijnders and Yunus Musah got 7/10. They worked very hard which allowed Loftus-Cheek to drive forward with the ball and create problems for PSG.
Olivier Giroud netted the winner and got 7.5 out of 10, whilst Pulisic got 6.5 before he was taken off with an injury. Stefano Pioli was given 7.5 for his management of the game.
