Tuttosport: Milan player ratings from Inter loss – few positives as rearguard suffers

AC Milan’s usually watertight defence was breached three times by Inter last night during their cup semi-final second leg defeat.

Tuttosport (via MilanPosts) have published their player ratings for the game and they start by giving head coach Stefano Pioli a score of 5.5 out of 10 for his management of the game while his opposite number got an 8.

Mike Maignan was picked out as the man of the match for Milan with a score of 6, while Pierre Kalulu got a 4.5 and was the worst player. Davide Calabria (5), Fikayo Tomori (5) and Theo Hernandez (5.5) complete the defence.

The double pivot of Ismael Bennacer (5.5) and Sandro Tonali (5) struggled to get much control in the game but grew in confidence before the break. Alexis Saelemaekers (5.5) and Rafael Leao (6) both tried to make things happen on the wing but couldn’t score despite having fierce shots on target.

Franck Kessie got a 5 for failing to limit Brozovic’s influence on the game and Olivier Giroud got the same score for not having much of a grip on the game in general. Brahim Diaz (6) was bright off the bench.
