There were a number of players who stood out on Wednesday night for their roles in AC Milan’s 4-0 rout of Red Bull Salzburg which secured Champions League knockout stage football.
We start with Theo Hernandez’s performance, and the full-back was given a 7.5 in our player ratings: “Up and down, up and down, which we got to see nothing of against Torino. It’s what makes him such a great full-back and today was a good day for him.”

🚆 TGV at full speed.

Pierre Kalulu got a 7: “Tireless defensive display from him with several positive moments. He did really well to always be an option when Milan attacked on the right as well.”

Bennacer, who received an 8: “Similarly to Tomori, who led the defence, Isma certainly controlled the midfield. Salzburg couldn’t take the ball off him and his passing was great as well, dictating the play fully.”

🌟 Confident and controlling.

Olivier Giroud, who got 9.5 and MOTM: “Goal, assist, goal, assist – what more can Milan ask of their No.9? He didn’t just do that, but he was also very successful in the hold-up play and his link-up worked much better today.”
