Taking a look at the player ratings handed out by Italian papers this morning, it’s clear that AC Milan won their game against Cagliari thanks to a brilliant midfield.
Rafael Leao scored the winner for the Rossoneri, finding the back of the net at the start of the second half, but he wasn’t the MVP according to the papers. Instead, Milan benefitted from an exceptional midfield duo, namely Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot.

The Frenchman was named the MOTM in our player ratings with a 7.5/10, and he got the same score from Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport. Tuttosport, meanwhile, gave him 6.5 and named Modric as the best one at 7 instead.
As for the worst performer, the papers agreed that Pervis Estupinan needed to do a lot better on the left flank. Gazzetta dello Sport gave him a pass at 6/10, but still named him the worst, while the other two papers both gave him a 5.5.

Tuttosport’s ratings

6: Maignan, De Winter, Bartesaghi, Saelemaekers, Fofana, Ricci, Loftus-Cheek, Fullkrug.
5.5: Estupinan.
No doubt, Rabiot and Modric were the outstanding players. Tomori, De Winter and Bartesaghi did well at the back. RLC and Leap attack was not it. Milan needs a quality striker. We can’t play this good and not have a real finisher. We can’t keep experimenting with the likes of Fullkrug, Jovic, Abraham.
What a idiot bring estupinian to the club…..?🤡
The same one that brought Modric and Rabiot to the club?
Estupido is a poor performer
What’s more idiotic is that such a poor player still got supporters like the one below..
Even the rubbish dude Be Winter is better than him. lol
