AC Milan managed to secure a very important win in the league against AS Roma who are led by José Mourinho. Stefano Pioli's side worked very hard with a lot of organisation despite the absences.
La Gazzetta dello Sport granted the best rating to Sandro Tonali who had a very good game in midfield. He was awarded a 7.5. Following him, there was Mike Maignan who made some crucial saves that helped get the 3 points. A 7 for the former Lille shotstopper. Next, Junior Messias also had a 7 thanks to his great contribution and goal. Brahim Diaz saw an improvement in performance compared to the last few ones he had, the former Manchester City player was awarded a 7 too, just like Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao.
Next, Alessandro Florenzi was granted a 6.5 just like Theo Hernandez. Tiémoué Bakayoko and Rade Krunic also had the same grade.
Alexis Saelemaekers was given a 6 with Pierre Kalulu, Matteo Gabbia and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swede, however, was voted as the worst player on the pitch. Despite a good assist to his name, he still missed a penalty in the last minute of the game.
