With a combination of selection problems and general fatigue, it just wasn’t Milan’s night at San Siro as they lost 3-1 to Juventus.
The Rossoneri saw their unbeaten run in Serie A ended at 27 games by the champions as Federico Chiesa’s brace and Weston McKennie’s goal off the bench saw Juve run out 3-1 winners at San Siro, rendering Davide Calabria’s fantastic equaliser a mere flash in the pan on a difficult night for a team decimated by suspension problems.
Below are the reactions of the players on social media…
Calabria: “Sorry because the goal did not serve to bring home important points, but the bitterness for this defeat must give us the charge to start immediately at the maximum.”
Theo: “After 27 games, it’s time to get up and keep working to keep giving joy to our love.”
Kessie: “We look forward! Always together.”
Dalot: “This defeat will not bring us down! Head up and forward Milan!”
Hauge: “We go again on Saturday.”
Calhanoglu: “I’m really proud to have been named the Serie A Player of the Month for December. Like I’ve always said, this is not an individual award, it is the fruition of a team effort. I am thankful to be a part of this team. Yesterday we suffered a loss. Of course it is painful, but I promise we will keep doing our best to make our fans happy at the end of the season. Forza Milan.”
Leao: “We lost a battle, not the war!! Happy to reach the 50 game mark for this jersey, how proud I am to wear it.”
Maldini: “We look forward.”
