Starting XI
Maignan (6.5): He didn’t really get tested this evening, apart from a couple of good saves. And Milan didn’t rely on him solely in the build-up phase either.
Calabria (7): He did well to neutralise Kvaratskhelia, even if the latter didn’t seem to have the best of games. He also got the assist for Milan’s fourth goal, even if that was mostly Saelemaekers’ doing.
Kjaer (8): Just like against Spurs, he was brilliant this evening. Commanded the aerial space and did well in the duels. His passing was also very important for Milan as even in pressed situations, they found a way out.
Tomori (7.5): He read the game very well and seemed to be in the right position for every situation. He made one really good sliding block in the second half and showed just how good he can be.
Hernandez (7.5): The Frenchman didn’t get a goal or an assist this evening, but man was he good. He ran up and down the flank and was very successful with his moves, also elevating Leao.
Krunic (7.5): The Bosnian played in a more defensive role this evening (contrary to previous reports) and he did really well. He won the ball back several times and didn’t shy away from the duels. He could have been better in possession at times, but often did really well with the ball too.
Tonali (8): Sandro is back. It was a tremendous display in the defensive phase and Milan’s third goal was a prime example of that, winning the ball back after a tough duel and then setting up Leao with a lovely pass.
Diaz (8.5 – MOTM): What a game from the Spaniard. His quick feet were showcased on the first goal (with a lovely assist) and he then calmly slotted home the second. After tonight’s display, one can understand why Real Madrid want him back.
Bennacer (7.5): Most of us thought he would be in the tandem, but he did really well in the No.10 role instead. He helped set up the second goal and was always available (more or less) when his teammates needed an option going forward. This game was won in the midfield.
Leao (8.5): Rafa is back. We finally got to see him on the left wing again and he really showed why that is his best position. It was a lovely dink to open the scoring and his second goal was even better.
Giroud (7): No goal for him tonight, but he did come close as Meret made an impressive reflex save from close range. He won tons of duels, though, and his one-touch passing game was on point tonight.
Substitutes
Saelemaekers (8): He looked like Messi out there tonight as he scored a lovely solo-run goal. He then attempted a long-range effort that forced a good save out of Meret. Above all, though, he was always present and found a way out of the press.
Rebic (N/A): He didn’t play enough to get a rating.
Origi (N/A): He didn’t play enough to get a rating.
Bakayoko (N/A): He didn’t play enough to get a rating.
De Ketelaere (N/A): He didn’t play enough to get a rating.
