At San Siro there is no longer the festive atmosphere that had accompanied the Milan until April. The Curva Sud continues its strike and witnesses the success of the Devil against the Cagliari per 5-1. They decide Bennacer, Pulisic (double), Reijnders and Raphael Lion.
Milan-Cagliari 5-1: the match
The Rossoneri regained the three points after more than a month, from the 3-0 win against Lecce on 6 April. Since then there have been six games without a win, between the championship and the Europa League, complete with defeat in the derby against Inter (scudetto number 20 for the Nerazzurri) and continental elimination against Roma. Two situations that push Stefano Pioli away from Milan. The coach decides for a massive turnover: send Calabria, Tomori, Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao to the bench.
