AC Milan continues to suffer in the Champions League. Tonight, coach Stefano Pioli and his men suffered badly and failed to grab a good result.
The Rossoneri players did not manage to put in a good performance at all as Porto started the game with high pressing and much more focus than the Italians.
Otavio's teammates kept attacking non-stop and leaving no space for Milan. The Portuguese team's defence was also applied well. The fact is, Porto were entered the pitch more focused and working more like an organised and well-oiled machine.
As for Milan, the players looked like they are lacking focus. They were outpaced and outsmarted by the opposition.
Milan could not have register one dangerous opportunity in the first half, but still managed to get a clean sheet. However, the second half is obviously another story as Porto continued to work hard upfront and exploit the spaces and lack of attention of Il Diavoli. In minute 65, Luis Diaz managed to deliver a powerful shot which was too difficult for Tatarusanu to stop.
Despite the entry of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Milan were still unable to create danger and scoring opportunities. AC Milan looked unrecognisable tonight and the chances to qualify to the next Champions League round now looks too difficult and unlikely.
Now, it is the time to regroup, work harder and focus on the next game which is Serie A clash against Bologna on Saturday.
