Defeated at Udinese this Saturday, AC Milan made a very bad operation in the race for the Champions League.
After qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Champions League at the expense of Tottenham last Wednesday, theAC Milan returned to Serie A. But in the league, the Rossoneri are struggling to be regular. After a defeat against Fiorentina (1-2) and a draw against Salernitana (1-1), the Lombards moved on the lawn of theUdinese with the ambition of temporarily taking 3rd place in the standings and putting pressure on their direct competitors in the race for Europe, but without Olivier Giroud suspended.
Ibra notices, for nothing
From the outset, Stefano Pioli’s men are in difficulty and are surprised from the 9th minute of play by Roberto Pereyra. It is finally against the course of the game that they manage to return to the game. On a disputed and questionable penalty, Zlatan Ibrahimovic misses his first attempt before he was eventually taken off as Marco Silvestri was off his line. the second is the correct one and Swede scores first goal in over a year after knee surgery. (1-1, 45+1)

But in the process, the Milanese defense is again taken by default and leaves Beto restore the advantage to his team just before the break. In the second act, the Rouge et Noir still struggled to be dangerous and did not create a real opportunity to get back into the match. It is ultimately the locals who will drive the point home. 20 minutes from time, Kingsley Ehizibuewhich had followed well, does not come to conclude a beautiful collective action.
AC Milan goes on a third consecutive match without success in the league and risks being ejected from the top 4 by theAS Roma Sunday.
