AC Milan's night was a nightmare against Borussia Dortmund, despite playing at home in front of over 70 thousand Rossoneri fans. The Champions League group stage has proved to be very difficult and the chances of securing a qualification to the next round in the final matchday seem to be very slim. The Rossoneri, in fact, gave their all, but in the end, they were overwhelmed by the Germans and obviously the injuries did not help.
This morning, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that injuries continue to make everything even more complicated. Another one occurred yesterday, that of Malick Thiaw. Now, all the central defenders are out except for Fikayo Tomori, to the extent that Stefano Pioli was forced to place Rade Krunic in the center of the defense after the German's injury. Under these circumstances, it's really tough to remain competitive.
If the team leaders also falter on the most important night of the season, then nothing good can come: Theo Hernandez was once again disappointing, and last night serious mistakes were made, first by Olivier Giroud, who missed a penalty after 6 minutes that could have tilted the game in a certain way, and then by Mike Maignan, who erred during Borussia's third goal.
In short, it was a forgettable evening, and now a real miracle is needed for the Champions League round of 16.
