AC Milan suffered a new disappointment at home against Parma, losing (0-1) at San Siro as part of the 26th day of Serie A. The Rossoneri, who had long dominated the debates in the first period without managing to find the fault, saw their opponent open the scoring in the 80th minute thanks to Troilo, taking advantage of a moment of hesitation in the Milan defense. Despite the presence of stars like Rafael Leão and Christian Pulišić, Milan were never able to convert their dominance into clear-cut chances, and Parma were able to contain the local attacks until the final whistle.
Milan coach Landucci, who replaced Allegri at short notice after the suspension of the Italian coach, had lined up a 3-5-2 formation with Maignan in goal, supported by Tomori, De Winter and Bartesaghi in defense, while in the middle, Modrić and Loftus-Cheek tried to organize the game. Moreover, this meeting was marked by the exit on a stretcher of the English midfielder, who was rushed to hospital. Led by Carlos Cuesta, Parma played in a similar, but more compact, system, with Troilo and Britschgi providing the attacking danger. This victory allows Parma to move away from the red zone, while Milan must quickly recover to remain in the title race, while the Milanese rival is already 10 points ahead.
