AC Milan drew yet another game as Udinese cancelled out Rafael Leao’s opener in yesterday’s clash between the sides. A result, however, that Inter didn’t take advantage of as they also drew their game.
The Salernitana draw was a wake-up call in itself but after last night, the reality of the situation has sunk in even more. Milan are only first in the standings thanks to their competitors also dropping points, but that won’t last forever.
In addition, this would’ve been an opportunity for the Rossoneri to climb the standings even more point-wise and make life even more difficult for Inter. Down below are the stats from the Udinese clash, via the official website…

Stats that are meaningless. What matters is that Milan’s play is not at all attractive. We supporters want excitement and not that boring stuff.
