Scattered considerations post Milan-PSG (2-1)

Milan dominates at San Siro. PSG crashed and qualification reopened.

A great Milan lit up the Champions League. Faced with their most famous opponent, Milan returns to raise its voice, showing all of Europe that it is still perfectly capable of reaching the round of 16. In the most difficult moment of Pioli’s four-year period, the Rossoneri were able to write a historical page from the recent past, clearly outclassing a potential finalist. She didn’t disparage anyone. All 14 players fielded by Pioli were excellent. In particular those who, in recent weeks, had been particularly criticized for their attitude and lack of attachment to the shirt. We are referring to Leao, Theo and also Maignan, accused of making little effort due to the renewal not arriving. All rumors, promptly swept away in 99 minutes. Ninety-nine, impeccable, minutes in which Milan once again showed how the Champions League is their home garden;

– It certainly cannot be said that San Siro has reserved for Donnarumma a friendly welcome. Between dollars thrown and whistles, one would have expected a fearful performance from the Italian number one. The Milan fans just can’t forgive the betrayal, perhaps legitimately, but probably putting a stop to the whole affair would be the best solution. Gigio, despite being defined by many as a “mood” player, showed off an excellent performance, which allowed his team to remain standing even when they could have collapsed. On the other hand, the neighbor Maignan showed everyone that he is no exception, showing off a super performance. Precisely in consideration of this, it is time to make a change. Think of Donnarumma only as an opponent, perhaps not too grateful. But for everyone’s sake let him be just an opponent;

How much Ruben Loftus-Cheek is missed. The Englishman, underestimated by many during the summer transfer market, is the only midfielder capable of offering the superiority of the Milan squad. In fact, neither Musah nor Rejinders possess the pace and physique of the 8. Furthermore, Rejinders has shown that he works better as a midfielder than as a midfielder, given that the numbers in front of goal are still scarce. With the inclusion of RLC, Pioli knows he has an additional important weapon in his hands, also capable of shifting the balance but to be used sparingly and intelligently. Fragile like crystal, precious like a diamond, Loftus-Cheek could represent the man of Milan’s rebirth;

Rossoneri senators in an evening of grace. Leao, Theo Hernandez, Tomori, Maignan and Giroud showed today what playing at San Siro means to them for Milan. From minute 1 to 90, despite the disadvantage, the Rossoneri totems carried away the fans and their teammates, accompanying them to victory. A Theo like this hadn’t been seen in a long time, a Leao like this had perhaps never been seen before. The quality of the opponents seems to have raised the level of the Milan fans’ performance, who were unleashed today. A perhaps unexpected performance, given the latest releases, but certainly not the result of chance. Milan has several players of absolute quality, still evidently not capable of being calibrated for an entire season at the top. Having trust in your coach is, obviously, the cornerstone of the game. Perhaps Stefano Pioli had recently lost a bit of credibility towards the group but performances like this help to help themselves;

– For the most important match of the year (so far), Pioli had it at his disposal l’onze de gala. Despite over 40 injuries in 3 years, against Paris Saint Germain, in the first real final exam of the 2023/2024 season for the Pioli course, the Rossoneri showed up in their best clothes. A real godsend, especially considering that they all performed at their best. All, or almost all. Only Christian Pulisic, a real surprise at the start of the AC Milan season, seemed to be slightly behind his teammates in terms of condition. The American, however, has always offered an alternative solution to a Leao in a state of grace. Not a small factor if you consider the paucity shown by Milan’s right wing players just 3 days ago against Udinese. Milan has recovered its best performers, who knows if it will be enough to straighten out a season that has been unfortunate up until now.
