Another setback for Milan. Last night, the Rossoneri conceded two goals, with Christian Pulisic’s strike proving insufficient as Fiorentina came out victorious.
"Milan throws itself away"
That was the headline used in this morning's print edition of Il Corriere della Sera regarding the defeat of the Rossoneri against Fiorentina yesterday.
It was a very strange match for the players, coach and fans. Regarding the defence, the usual nervousness was showcased: A serious error by Tomori on Gudmundsson's winning goal, for example is very alarming.
A night to forget for captain Theo Hernandez, who on his birthday missed a penalty (in the second half, Abraham also missed a penalty), caused a penalty for 'La Viola', and was sent off by referee Luca Pairetto for protesting after the match.
These are the words of the Portuguese coach in the post-match interview on Milan TV regarding the penalty taker: "The penalty taker is Pulisic; I don’t know why the boys changed. I’ve already told the boys it won’t happen again."
