Milan did not show its European hangover and prevailed Lecce of Samuel Umtiti to stay connected to the match to enter the Champions the next course. The ‘rossonero’ team had a solid match without brilliance, although it was enough to overcome their rival thanks to a Rafael Leao doubled.
The team led by Stefano Pioli will face the final stretch of the season in one of its best moments. They have already shown their resilience by eliminating Napoli in the Champions League and have maintained their level despite the visit of a weak Lecce to the San Siro.

Everything was settled before reaching the break. Leao, in his head, reflects Milan’s excellence in a slate play. It could have gone ahead earlier had VAR not overturned a penalty on Theo Hernández shortly after kick-off.
The second half was just a formality for the ‘rossoneri’, who secured victory in Leao’s ride and his deadly cross shot to establish the final 2-0.
Milan is the fifth type with the same points as Roma, which currently marks the teams that will go to the Champions League next year.
