GdS: Milan player ratings from Tottenham win – Rossoneri defence impresses

The ratings from La Gazzetta dello Sport make for refreshingly good reading for AC Milan players and fans after the impressive 1-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League. 

The Rossoneri produced what was their best performance of the calendar year so far as they put one foot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

It was the defence that particularly impressed with Malick Thiaw and Theo Hernandez both scoring 7.5 out of 10. Simon Kjaer got a 7, with Pierre Kalulu getting a 6.5.

Stefano Pioli got a 7 for his effective changes that kept the lead intact and could have led to more goals for Milan. Sandro Tonali, Olivier Giroud and Brahim Diaz all impressed, scoring 7/10.

Rafael Leao, Ciprian Tatarusanu and Rade Krunic did not stand out but played their part, getting 6.5, whilst Alexis Saelemaekers managed a 6. Charles De Ketelaere only got 5.5 for his cameo from the bench, whilst Junior Messias got 6.5 for his.
