AC Milan fell to their second defeat in two games in the Champions League last night as they lost 1-0 against Bayer Leverkusen, but it was a match with controversy.
Victor Boniface got the only goal early in the second half after the home side had dominated the first 45 minutes, yet Milan missed some big chances and can feel unlucky not to have been awarded at least one penalty.
Below is how the front pages of today’s papers in Italy have reacted to the game…
La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Milan anger: ‘There was a penalty’. The Rossoneri waste too many chances against Bayer. Fonseca: ‘Never played so well. The foul on Loftus-Cheek not even reviewed’.”
Corriere dello Sport: “Fonseca suffers but comes close to equalising. Bayer sinks Milan: Second defeat in Europe (1-0).”
Tuttosport: “Mistakes and bad luck in Leverkusen. Milan remain on zero points. Theo hits the crossbar, Morata wasteful: steps forward, but second defeat.”
