La Gazzetta dello Sport are full of praise for AC Milan’s performance this morning after a Champions League semi-final spot was secured last night against Napoli.
This morning’s edition of the newspaper gives Milan’s overall performance a score of 7 out of 10, with Stefano Pioli receiving the same score for his management of the game and another tactical masterclass.
Rafael Leao was adjudged to be the best player on the pitch as he got an 8, but Fikayo Tomori struggled the most and gave away a penalty kick, scoring a 5. Mike Maignan and Simon Kjaer got a 7 in the rearguard, with Davide Calabria getting a 6.5 and Theo Hernandez receiving a 6.
In midfield Rade Krunic got half a mark higher than Sandro Tonali as the Bosnian scored a 6.5 and the Italian a 6, while Ismael Bennacer got the same as his former Empoli team-mate.
In attack Brahim Diaz was rated 5.5, with Olivier Giroud getting a 6. Junior Messias received a 6 having come off the bench, while Divock Origi got half a point less than that.
more realistic. tho calabria and kjaer would swap them ratings
Honestly, what a crazy story would it be if we win the champions leauge. Having a roller coaster season, people doubting them. Fans being the angry critics sometimes (including me). I know it’s extremely difficult against shinter, but mostly against real madrid and city at the final. But we can dream. Afterall, this is a miracle team. Forza milan.
Do we dare to dream? The Inter game is 50/50 and then most likely City or Real in the final. It is possible, but i wouldn’t put money on it.
If we get to the final i would prefer to face City as Real just seem to know how to win the tournament.
Lets not get too carried away. Inter will be difficult enough.
Nothing is impossible,,it seems as if when Olivier Giroud starts the games in the biggest competitions he always seem to deliver ..He missed a penalty which is rare ,but he kept believing and got his just reward but what a player rafeol leao is ,.he proved his worth last night and of course played a brilliant ball into the path of Olivier who scored ..We will make the final of the champions leauge ..can we win it ,why not .
A great team performance last night defensively we were brilliant ,yes napoli had possession but not that many opportunities..I love this team ,and have never doubted the ability of this team and Stefani pioli a great tactician a great manager .I get a little bit annoyed at the unfair criticism he has had to endure .
The same can be said of Olivier Giroud who has been absolutely a top centre forward for us .He never gives up in believing in the team and himself..
We owe much to him ,,,and I said many times never write this man off he is a winner ,and a class act
Yes 36 years old ,but leads by example
We will finish in the top for in the league..so this is an incredible achievement..We are AC MILAN
Dream is free… After we pass inter or benfica (pray to God we can pass one of them), anything can happen in Istambul. If we can choose..?? Im chosing City over Real for 60-40. Why..?? Cause that Spain side is specialist in CL. Plus Ancelotti factor. But wherever we stop in this CL, im still PROUD OF MY MILAN team. Forza…!!!
