AC Milan is currently experiencing a downturn in their defensive focus, as admitted by Stefano Pioli himself in the post-match press conference.
Today's issue of Gazzetta dello Sport analyses an emblematic statistic showcasing the team's complete mental disconnection.
The Rossoneri have conceded a total of eight penalties in this Serie A season, with six of them being conceded in 2024 alone. In this aspect, Milan is the worst-performing team among the top European leagues. Retegui's goal rewrites the history of the Rossoneri club: it hadn't happened since the 2004-05 season for them to concede a penalty kick within the first five minutes of a match.
