AC Milan had to react well immediately after the two losses against two Nerazzurri clubs in the Serie A league and Coppa Italia (Atalanta first and then Inter). There was no room for mistakes. It was too important that Stefano Pioli and his men show that they have the quality and strength to stay on top of the league despite the recent losses.
Today's edition of Tuttosport highlights that the Rossoneri team did in fact show a good reaction, that of a champion. On the daily newspaper's pages, we read the following: "Milan finds its compass. It is a reaction that smells of a Scudetto."
The Rossoneri win in Bologna: goals from Rebic who followed up the penalty of Ibrahimovic, and Kessié who scored from the spot. Bologna ended the match well by applying pressure and scoring one goal, "but a good ending, is not enough" to beat Stefano Pioli and his players, concluded the newspaper.
