AC Milan’s unbeaten run (since March 2020) has ended with somewhat of an embarrassing loss against Lille OSC, 0-3 at home on San Siro.
With this win, Lille takes the lead of Group H in the Europa League with 7 points (2W 1D) with AC Milan right behind with 6 points (2W 1L).
This being said, the run had to end at some point, and what better time than the Europa League group stage, so there are positives to take from this loss, although a little bit more competitiveness would not hurt.
It has to be said that the first 2 goals were results of fatal errors by arguably two of the most dependable players of the team, team captain A. Romagnoli and team goalkeeper G. Donnarumma. Romagnoli conceded a ridiculously unnecessary penalty in the first half of the game, while Donnaruma made a newbie mistake and conceded a not so threatening long-range effort by Y. Yazici (who scored all 3 goals, kudos.). Romagnoli’s poor form since his return from an injury is becoming quite worrying (for me at least). I hope el Capitano will get through this slump and we will soon see the leader and a wall in defense with which we all fell in love with.
In the meantime, I think this loss does not make Milan’s current form any worse (necessarily). And the hopes for the season run still very high.
Current Serie A leaders will face Verona at home on San Siro on the 8th of November.
Forza Milan!
