It was another damaging defeat for Milan as they were swept aside by Maurizio Sarri’s men in the capital. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Mattia Zaccagni each scored in the first half to continue the trend of falling behind early, with a penalty from Luis Alberto and a fourth from Felipe Anderson condemning the Rossoneri to another dismal loss.
The defeat not only probably hands the title to Napoli who now have a 12-point lead atop the table, but it leaves the top four race wide open with Lazio climbing into third and Milan now sitting just one point above Roma in fifth.
Tonali was interviewed by Milan TV after the game at the Stadio Olimpico and gave his raw reaction to what was another very difficult night for the team, with his comments relayed by MilanNews.
“It hurts to lose like this. The game started badly and was downhill for them. I could say a thousand things, but we weren’t at our level. We did very little. Now we need to work,” he began.
“We need to rediscover the spirit that has brought us up to today. We know that it has given us a great hand throughout the season, but now we need to find the team united again.
“We are also very sorry for the fans who are always with us. We have to get the group and with the help of everything, even the fans, to go towards a single goal.”
