The French of Milan shone
With two other Frenchmen at the kick-off, Mike Maignan and Youssouf Fofana who all shone in their register, the Milanese made a second trip, the San Siro stadium being requisitioned to host the opening ceremony of the Milan-Cortina Winter Games (February 6-22), which begin on Friday.
Served on the edge of offside by Rabiot, English striker Ruben Loftus-Cheek launched the Rossoneriincidentally in yellow this evening, on good track, taking advantage of a poor alignment of the opposing defense (20th). Rarely worried by the Bolognese who are usually very biting at home, but lacking inspiration on Monday evening, Massimiliano Allegri’s players then took cover from a penalty obtained after a VAR check and transformed by Nkunku who wrong-footed goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia. The former PSG titi was a permanent poison for the Bologna rearguard and seems to be turning around again in the Lombard club jersey.
Surprise of last season, Bologna then gave the baton to be beaten: a long throw was intercepted by Rabiot, named man of the match at the end of the match, who was quick to add to the score with a strike at ground level (47th), killing all suspense. The team coached by Vincenzo Italiano now finds itself left behind for the qualifying places in the Champions League since it is now 15 lengths behind fourth place occupied by Juventus (45 pts).
