Stefano Pioli’s Milan qualified for the quarterfinals of the Champions League after a 0–0 loss in the second leg against Antonio Conte’s Tottenham, who they won 1–0 (a goal by Brahim Díaz) in the first leg.
MAIGAN Providential

KALULU Effective
Like his colleagues in the defensive line, the Frenchman also scored from a great height to put Tottenham in control.
THIAW Plethoric
The young German defender, in a great performance, is, at the age of 21, one of the leaders of Milan’s well-organized defense.
TOMORI Brilliant
The English central defender who hails from Canada showed once again, and on a night as difficult as this one, that he is in great form.

Director of TONALI

BRAHIM DIAZ Effervescent

GIROUD Worker
He didn’t have a goal, but he did a great job of wearing this second leg.
LEO Ascendant
He didn’t shine in the first half against Tottenham, but he showed his great quality in the second.
