Muriel's heel kick has plunged Milan back into its uncertainties. The Colombian's beautiful goal came in the 95th minute and gave Atalanta a 3-2 win over the Rossoneri. But even if the draw had come, Milan would have only taken steps backwards.
A point would have been worth little, especially if it had been snatched in the final minutes after a performance that was too bad to be true. Especially in the second half, an increasingly sinister habit.
Now the road to the various seasonal goals seems to be increasingly paved with insurmountable obstacles.
As Tuttosport writes this morning, with the defeat in Bergamo, Milan is perhaps irretrievably moving away from the Scudetto dream. It is true that we are only at the 15th matchday, it is true that in sport anything is possible.
The course, however, would have to be reversed immediately and at the same time both Inter, at +9, and Juventus, at +7, would have to have a negative streak. In short, the possibility, as long as mathematics will allow it, is there: everything else seems to be just no.
Milan is confused, tactically and psychologically, and has not overcome the moment of crisis that it has been dragging with it since mid-October, plunging back into it up to its neck. In all this, the Champions League is played on Wednesday, where the Rossoneri team is against the wall: a win at home to Newcastle is needed, without a defense and with Leao still not at 100%, and at the same time Dortmund needs to beat PSG, as relayed via Milan News.
In short, on Thursday, Milan risks finding itself in mid-December with only the Coppa Italia as a still achievable goal. At the beginning of the season, they had started out to hunt for the second star and do their best possible in the Champions League: goals that seem to have already gone up in smoke.
