Undermined by injuries, in a bad psychological situation and messy in the game, AC Milan lost against Udinese (0-1), Saturday at San Siro, three days before its Champions League match against PSG .
Beaten 3-0 at the Parc des Princes and last in their Champions League group, Milan finds PSG next Tuesday in a very bad position. The Rossoneri, who were left with a defeat against Juventus then a draw against Napoli, lost against Udinese (1-0), Saturday at San Siro, for the 11th day of Serie A and found themselves 3rd 5 points behind the leader, Inter.
The training of Stefano Pioli offers a very worrying face at the moment, the coach champion of Italy in 2022 failing to create a collective due to absences. In addition to Pierre Kalulu, Simon Kjaer and Christian Pulisic, it was the French international Théo Hernandez who was missing, for a blow to an ankle. He is already uncertain to challenge the Parisians.
Pioli tried to shake things up by throwing Luka Jovic alongside Olivier Giroud, in a strange 4-4-2, but the Serbian center forward was ghostly before leaving at half-time… Yacine Adli also entered after returning from the locker room but unfortunately gave the Zebrette the penalty, converted by Roberto Pereyra (61st).
The Lombards did not manage to equalize, creating too few clear chances. And a final header from Giroud was brilliantly released by the opposing goalkeeper, Marco Silvestri (91st). Even success is not there. It will take a miracle to contain Kylian Mbappé’s PSG and public support will probably not be enough…
