If AC Milan is completely overtaken by Inter Milan at the top of Serie A, we should not let any more points slip away. The trip to the Cremonese field this Sunday, 17th in the ranking, as part of the 27th day, constituted an ideal opportunity to bounce back after the defeat conceded against Parma (0-1). For this meeting, Massimiliano Allegri lined up an attacking duo Rafael Leão-Christian Pulisic, leaving Christopher Nkunku on the bench. However, the French Adrien Rabiot, Youssouf Fofana and Mike Maignan were among the starters.
Despite a slight domination in all areas of the game, the Rossoneri never managed to make the difference before the break, struggling to impose their rhythm against a well-organized Cremonese team. In the second half, the visitors pushed, notably with the entries of Füllkrug and Nkunku, but they were never really successful this afternoon. We had to wait for a new stroke of genius from Luka Modrić: in the last minute, the Croatian found Pavlović with a majestic cross (0-1, 91st). A few seconds later, Nkunku offered a ready-made goal to Leão for the 0-2. AC Milan therefore won on the wire and with this result (0-2), Allegri’s men are still 2nd, 10 points behind Inter. For his part, the promoted player remains 17th.
