Two minutes from Leao and the result against Genoa is overturned at the Luigi Ferraris stadium last night.
It is the third win in a row for the Rossoneri, it’s the first time since Conceiçao has been there. The three points allow Milan to close the gap on Fiorentina, now just two points behind. A modest objective, but finishing eighth would allow, in case of a loss at the Olimpico against Bologna, to avoid the preliminary rounds of the 2025–26 Coppa Italia in August, as pointed out by Tuttosport.
Leao was crucial in Milan's win against Genoa...
Yesterday’s match served to give an indication ahead of the game in Rome, where more will be needed. For example, a Leao capable of making an impact from the first minute: yesterday he was surprisingly left out of the starting lineup, in his place was Loftus-Cheek, making his first start under the current coach.
When the Portuguese left-winger came on in the 28th minute of the first half for the injured Fofana (a blow to his left foot, there don’t seem to be concerns), he proved right those who think he’s more decisive coming off the bench. It was in fact he who scored the 1–1 goal and sent in the low cross that Frendrup, trying to beat Joao Felix to it, pushed into his own net.
