Musah started to the right in Milan’s 4-2-3-1 formation last night, with Christian Pulisic playing in the centre, and it’s a decision that was questioned before the game. Sure enough, just seven minutes into the game, the American made a huge mistake to gift Fiorentina the opening goal. Receiving the ball in the middle of the pitch, slightly to the right, Musah only needed to make a simple pass and he wasn’t under extreme pressure either. However, he completely scuffed the pass and Fiorentina were able to pick up the loose ball, making the most of it. In recent weeks,…
Maignan was named the MOTM by the Italian newspapers this morning and by us, he was given the same rating as our MOTM Luka Jovic. Indeed, the goalkeeper made several really good saves, making sure Milan walked away with a point. Speaking to Sky Italia after the game, as transcribed by MilanNews, Maignan shared his thoughts on Milan’s inability to start the games well. He was also asked about the contract renewal, which appears to be imminent, but he didn’t give much away. It’s true that it doesn’t feel nice, because we want to win and I want to win.…
Moise Kean has now become a certainty. The Fiorentina and Italy national team striker dominated once again yesterday, scoring the goal that temporarily gave the Viola a two-goal lead. He inevitably faded a bit later on, just like the rest of his teammates, but in the second half he came close to scoring a brace, if not for an immense Mike Maignan. Fiorentina’s number 20 was answered by Milan first through Tammy Abraham—scoring his second goal in a row for the Rossoneri—and then by Luka Jovic, who also netted his second consecutive league goal, following the one against Napoli. Just…
The Los Angeles Lakers surged up to third in the Western Conference standings on Saturday night, riding a dominant all-around performance to a 124-108 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. While the star trio of Luka Doncic (35 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists), Austin Reaves (30 points, 7 assists), and LeBron James (27 points, 8 assists) led the way, it was rookie Dalton Knecht who delivered a key spark off the bench. Knecht, who was a DNP in Friday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors, made the most of his return to the rotation—dropping 10 quick points early in the…
It’s no secret that Shaquille O’Neal does not enjoy the evolution of the modern big man. For the most part, he doesn’t seem to enjoy any big man’s game besides Nikola Jokic’s. It’s also no secret that Shaq is arguably the most dominant big man of all time. There was no stopping Shaq, not in any era. So, naturally, when Shaq was asked how things would go if he faced off against Victor Wembanyama, he had a very expected response. “No. And I hate putting myself forward in time, but I will make both them a**es quit,” Shaq said emphatically…
Struggling AC Milan recovered from conceding two early goals to snatch a dramatic 2-2 draw against visiting Fiorentina in Serie A on Saturday. The hosts’ hopes of qualifying for the Champions League continue to fade, and they were two goals down in the opening 10 minutes of this contest. Things started off poorly for Milan when Malick Thiaw gave Fiorentina the lead with an own goal. Away forward Albert Gudmundsson dribbled past their defence to strike from a tight angle and Thiaw bundled the ball inside his own empty net. Moise Kean doubled the visitors’ advantage three minutes later, firing…
A bittersweet draw for AC Milan, who managed to come back from two goals down against Fiorentina. After Thiaw’s unfortunate own goal and Kean’s second, the Rossoneri responded with goals from Abraham and Jović. Despite the result, AC Milan showed character. Here are the key statistics from the match: 1- AC Milan (48) have collected fewer than 50 points after the first 31 games of a Serie A season for the third time in the last 10 seasons, after 2015/16 (49) and 2019/20 (49) – seasons finished in 7th and 6th place respectively. 2- Tammy Abraham (10) has reached double…
Milan: Maignan 7; Walker 5.5, Tomori 5.5, Thiaw 5, Theo Hernandez 5.5; Reijnders 6, Fofana 6 (80′ Bondo n/a); Musah 5 (25′ Jovic 7), Pulisic 6.5 (80′ Chukwueze n/a), Leao 6; Abraham 7 (55′ Gimenez 5.5) (80′ Joao Felix n/a) Best Milan players: Abraham & Maignan 7 – The striker’s grit and determination, arguably more than his technique, are the main reasons Sergio Conceiçao is increasingly relying on the English striker up front. The tenacity he showed in driving the ball toward the box, before combining with Pulisic for Milan’s first goal, was a spark in an otherwise overwhelmed Rossoneri…

On Thursday night, the Golden State Warriors sent a message to the Los Angeles Lakers after defeating them in a statement win. While the message can be open to interpretation, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal believes he heard it loud and clear. During an episode of Inside the NBA, Shaq claimed that the Warriors want all the smoke from the Lakers. “I know the Lakers beat Golden State three times before, but they didn’t have Jimmy Butler and they were not focused,” Shaq said. “I like a focused Golden State Warriors team, they’re very dangerous. I think they want to see…
