The paper (via SempreMilan) has given the team a score of 6.5 out of 10 overall, with head coach Stefano Pioli receiving the same score for his management of a game which became difficult after the red card.
Speaking of which, Rafael Leao is the flop of the match scoring a rating of just 4 after getting two yellow cards and leaving his team-mates with the entire second half to play a man down, while Olivier Giroud was awarded a 7 and the title of man of the match for his winning goal and overall performance.
Moving to the defence, Mike Maignan got a score of 6.5, with Davide Calabria getting a 6, Simon Kjaer and Pierre Kalulu getting the same and then Theo Hernandez earning a 7.
Sandro Tonali (6) and Tommaso Pobega (6.5) did an ok job in the double pivot, while Junior Messias got a 6.5 and Charles De Ketelaere got a 6. Fikayo Tomori, Aster Vranckx and Ismael Bennacer scored 6 for their performances off the bench.
