Several players were deserving of praise after AC Milan’s 2-0 win over Lazio last night, as is reflected in Tuttosport’s player ratings.
The paper (via MilanNews) has highlighted Sandro Tonali as the best player on the pitch as he dominated in the middle of the field and for this he deserved a rating of 7.5 out of 10. He was not alone though as that mark also went to Ante Rebic, who registered two decisive assists for the goals from Rafael Leao and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Leao and Ibrahimovic got a 7 while Mike Maignan, Davide Calabria, Fikayo Tomori, Alessio Romagnoli, Theo Hernandez, Alexis Saelemaekers and Brahim Diaz all received a 6.5 – showing how strong an effort it was from the team as a unit.
A 6 was given to Alessandro Florenzi, and the only mark below that was for Franck Kessie (5.5) who missed a penalty at the end of the first half that could have put the game to bed much earlier, but we have to dispute that assessment.

Seriously? Kessie the lowest rated? He dominated the midfield, as he always does. You could see the difference the minute Milan took him off the field. Just because people are angry about the contract situation, now they are going to give Kessie bad ratings. He is by far the most important player on the team. Yes Tonali did good and is getting better but he still has a lot to work on in his passing game.
Calabria brought down many attacks- no wonder after his last season’s tackle rate, apart from penalty (which didn’t change the match outcome) Kessie was his usual good, Rebic was decisive.. Tonali was good but I also doubt he was the best
Bakayoko for me was the worst in his 30 min of play. Kessie was his usual 7.. maybe 6.5 for missing the penalty but no lower in my opinion.
He didn’t have 30 minutes, as he’s got injured after 13. Can’t judge him, as it was his first entrance to the pitch & he hadn’t enough time.
Karma got back at Bakayoko after his role during Gattuso ERA.
