Vanja Milinkovic-Savic was Football Italia’s MOTM in Torino’s 2-1 win over Milan, but the Granata put in a very solid performance against the confused Rossoneri. Torino centre-backs Guillermo Maripan and Saul Coco were incredibly focused and solid defensively but received crucial help from goalkeeper Milinkovic-Savic, who denied Christian Pulisic from the spot in the second half. The American winger missed the first spot kick in his professional career but tried his best to cause trouble for Torino by moving across Milan’s attacking line. Joao Felix made a key pass and created a big chance (via Sofascore) by hitting the woodwork,…

Pulisic fired hard and low to the…
Cafu believes that Sergio Conceicao can be the right man to lead AC Milan forward, while he urged the fans to rally around the team in a difficult moment.

On Tuesday, he watched his favourite team’s match against Feyenoord from Brazil and was disappointed by the result, as Milan exited 2-1 on aggregate.
