His teammate Luka Doncic, who managed 39 points across three quarters of the game, echoed his sentiment: “That’s our only goal. I think we have the team to…
AC Milan secured a big win against Udinese last night and while it allowed the fans to smile for once, that smile quickly turned into regret, as highlighted by Daniele Longo. Scoring two goals in each half, the Rossoneri comfortably brought back all three points from Udine to Milano. While the start of the game was a close affair, the Rossoneri comfortably took over after the first goal and showed their true quality, after a very poor season overall. In his article for Calciomercato.com this morning, Daniele Longo highlighted just how impressive the win won, though it also inevitably has…

According to Carlos Passerini of Corriere della Sera, Mike Maignan is doing well and was discharged this morning from the hospital in Udine, where he spent the night under observation. The French goalkeeper, who suffered a head trauma last night during Udinese-Milan after a heavy collision with teammate Alex Jimenez, is already on his way back to Milan. It was nothing more than a big scare. The decision to keep him in the hospital was purely precautionary, since the head was involved, but last night’s medical tests had already come back negative.
Few expected such a commanding performance from Milan, even if the game was quite close prior to the opening strike. Indeed, Rafael Leao’s wonderful strike paved the way for a very nice evening, with Strahinja Pavlovic doubling the lead just three minutes later. Theo Hernandez and Tijjani Reijnders added to the party in the second half, once again after very nice moves by the Rossoneri, and the Rossoneri fans were able to smile for once. In the video below, you can relive the action and the goals As stated by Sergio Conceicao after the game, Milan were ‘solid and compact’…
Rafael Leao helped guide AC Milan to an impressive 4-0 win against Udinese last night, scoring and assisting in what was a great performance for him. Finally, the Rossoneri got to see their No.10 at his best again. The newspapers labelled him the MOTM this morning, just as we did in our player ratings, and it’s hard to argue against that. We didn’t see the usual mistakes from the Portuguese winger and as highlighted by Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), it’s now up to him to continue like this. The switch to a three-man defence certainly helped Milan, not…
It is fair to say that Joao Felix is not having a good time during his loan spell away from Chelsea at AC Milan. The Portugal international got off to an electric start to life at the San Siro, with Milan preparing at the time to do what they could to bring him in permanently. Things have taken a drastic turn for Felix now though, with the attacker coming in for huge criticism from the media for his performances. Felix has been described as a ‘ghost’ in times he has played, with the Serie A side now changing their mind…

Milan picked up an entertaining 4-0 win over Udinese in Serie A on Friday night, with four different goalscorers and a first clean sheet in nine matches, largely thanks to a change in formation from a 4-2-3-1 to a 3-4-3.

Goals from Rafael Leao, Strahinja Pavlovic, Theo Hernandez and Tijjani Reijnders gave the Rossoneri a four-goal advantage in Udine, in a game that also saw goalkeeper Mike Maignan knocked out and stretchered off after a collision of heads with teammate Alex Jimenez. Undoubtedly, the 3-4-3 brought the best…
