The chronicle in 8 key moments

31 ‘MAIGNAN SU MURIEL – Bad ball lost by Theo on the trocar, the Colombian kicks from outside: excellent intervention in two halves.

43 ‘MILAN ASKS FOR A PENALTY – Launch for Giroud, down after contact with Djimsiti! Orsato does not whistle, the foul seems out of the area. Giroud booked for protests.

56′ GOAL AT LEAO – Messias deep ball for the Portuguese, who enters the area and scores under Musso’s legs.

61 ‘DANGEROUS ZAPATA – Nice action by Atalanta, the Colombian makes Theo sit down and kicks: high.

71 ‘OPPORTUNITY FOR ZAPATA – Malinovskyi’s corner from the left, detachment and a little wide ball.

75 ‘CRAZY GOAL BY THEO HERNANDEZ – Coast to coast, the whole Atalanta defense skips and beats Musso with the left.

86 ‘ZAPATA NEAR THE GOAL – Counterattack by Atalanta, conclusion from the Colombian’s excellent position: Maignan says no.

The social moment

MVP

Theo HERNANDEZ – Stellar rating for the usual performance at the height of his fame and above all for the serpentine from phenomenon to put on ice a victory of sidereal importance in terms of Scudetto. One of the best goals ever seen at San Siro. Turbo Theo.

Fantasy football

Promosso. Pierre KALULU – Another exciting performance by the French center who plays concentrated from the first to the last minute, without conceding anything. Always on the edge (see foul on Pessina), always rewarded by his gargantuan courage. Tomori’s perfect “partner in crime”. From a Fantasy Football perspective, a modifier machine!

bocciato. Teun KOOPMEINERS – It does not stand up to Rafa Leao’s impact and more generally it is not the metronome admired in the first part of the season. Tarnished and defeated again in the physical duel with Theo. Disastrous afternoon.
