Milan wins in Venice and secures three very important points that count for the standings and give morale ahead of the Coppa Italia final. Sergio Conceição’s team once again showed that they are comfortable with this new formation, and the third victory achieved in the last 4 outings amply confirms it.
Starting from the negative notes of the match at the Pier Luigi Penzo stadium, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the two worst on the pitch among the Rossoneri were Rafael Leao (rating 5) and Strahinja Pavlovic (rating 5), with the Serbian convincing even less than the Portuguese due to the immense suffering he endured while defending against Yeboah.
Rated as "postponed" were Kyle Walker (rating 5.5), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (rating 5.5), Tammy Abraham (rating 5.5), and Alejandro Jimenez (rating 5.5), while all the others were promoted. Sufficient were Theo Hernandez (rating 6) and Fikayo Tomori (rating 6); doing well instead were Tijjani Reijnders (rating 6.5), who provided the assist for the final 2–0 Rossoneri goal, and Santiago Gimenez (rating 6.5), saved by that goal in injury time that prevented yet another failure of the season.
Also fully promoted was Mike Maignan (rating 6.5), but the notes of merit go to Youssouf Fofana (rating 7) and Christian Pulisic (rating 7), without a shadow of a doubt the best player on the pitch for Milan.
