Serie A: AC Milan explodes Lecce in 5 minutes flat

Beaten in the middle of the week by Naples at home, and three days before facing Real Madrid in the Champions League, AC Milan (9th) traveled today to Monza (17th), for the 11th day of Serie A. For this clash between the two Lombard clubs, Paulo Fonseca had decided to leave Rafaël Leão on the bench – for the 3rd time in 4 matches – and to line up Théo Hernández and Tijjani Reijnders in the starting XI, all two suspended against Napoli this Wednesday.

The return of the Dutch international was more than beneficial for the Milanese since it was he who opened the scoring just before half-time, with a headed goal (43rd, 0-1). This achievement on the part of the former AZ Alkmaar player allows the Rossoneri to relaunch in the championship and occupy 7th place in the ranking, with one game in hand. Monza remain stuck at one win this season and are falling into the relegation zone, to 18th place.
