It is one of the three matches scheduled on Easter Day, the one between Milan and Atalanta, valid for the thirty-third matchday of the league. The appointment is at the Meazza Stadium in Milan at 8:45 PM CET. The match will be refereed by Marco Piccinini, from the Forlì section. Assistants: Imperiale and Zingarelli. Fourth official: Marchetti. At the VAR: Fabbri, VAR assistant: Guida, as Gazzetta dello Sport reminds us.
The Rossoneri will try to claw back some points to at least stay attached to the Europa League race, but the situation is very clear: the one against Atalanta is nothing other than the dress rehearsal ahead of the second-leg derby of the Coppa Italia, scheduled for Wednesday the 23rd. That is the shortest path to reach the Europa League, given the ninth place in the league. The AC Milan team of Sergio Conceicao are coming off a very solid victory in Udine, where everything worked and where some confidence and self-esteem were regained.
How Atalanta arrives...
The Bergamo-based club, who seemed in full crisis (three defeats in a row against Inter, Fiorentina, and Lazio between March 16 and April 6), comes into this after a decidedly convincing win over Bologna, which allowed them to strengthen third place. Now the goal is to defend it from Juve’s assaults. The Nerazzurri are a war machine away from home: they are the best team of the tournament in away matches.
