It’s a disaster in Milan. In a crucial match for the race for the Champions League, Massimiliano Allegri’s AC Milan completely collapsed this Sunday evening against Atalanta during the 36th day of Serie A. A few hours after Roma’s victory against Parma, the Rossoneri already had no room for error. With Mike Maignan starting in goal, Adrien Rabiot in the middle and Rafael Leão in attack, Milan hoped to revive their end of the season at San Siro.
But once again, nothing went in the right direction for the Lombards. From the 7th minute, Ederson cooled San Siro by opening the score before Zappacosta made the break at the half-hour mark (0-2, 30th). The entry of Christopher Nkunku at the break did not immediately change the nightmare scenario of the match since Raspadori worsened the score in the 51st minute with the third Bergamo goal. Pavlovic then revived a slim hope by reducing the gap, before Nkunku converted a penalty in the final moments (2-3, 90+4th). Despite this late reaction, AC Milan lost again and saw the race for the Champions League become seriously complicated. The Rossoneri now occupy fourth place, tied on points with Roma, with the end of the season more tense than ever.
