With a magical goal in the last breath, a delicious backheel as a resource, the Colombian Louis Muriel gave success to Atalanta he is new Milan (3-2) in an open, contested and entertaining match where, yes, the ‘rossoneri’ seams were seen again, those of a team moving in uncertainty and further away from leadership.
Muriel with heels and Ademola Lookman Through a double and an exhibition in front of their audience they peered into the open wound of a Milan that could not alleviate their problem in the infirmary.
Milan is clearly not doing well. Exhausted by injuries, again nothing Leoand there is an emergency in the middle position, with Theo Hernandez again as a central defender, Milan remains at his best with his head focused as well Champions Leaguewhere this Tuesday played his qualification for the round of 16 without relying on himself.
But the crisis is not only in nursing. The Rossoneri have been unrecognizable for a long time and rely on an individual spark to be effective. Recently it has been Jovic the solution, but the team noticed a lack of Leo. This Saturday, at Bergamoit was enough for him to match the pace of a better Atalanta who almost reached a tie that slipped through his fingers thanks to the skill of the Colombian striker, who opened his scoring account this season.
Milan knew right from the start that this was not going to be a quiet game. The local team soon warned a shot from Charles De Ketelaere, formerly of Milan, who inexplicably left on a high. The Belgian scored almost unopposed between the posts, but sent the ball over the crossbar to the disbelief of everyone present. The mistake stimulated Milan, who owned, but it was Atalanta the bearer of the risk in cons.
And with one of those came the first goal of the match, with a Lookman released that came from the dribble between three defenders and, helped by the deflection of Tomori, Maignan was surpassed. Atalanta hit the table.
But Giroud He pulled gallons and responded quickly. An impeccable header leveled the contest before the break, a reaction from Milan which seems to have started but quickly disappeared due to a ‘Nerazzurri’ earthquake under the command of Gasperini who dwarf the visitors.
