19’: Bynoe-Gittens skims his shot off the top of the crossbar!

23’: Pulisic squeezes a shot through traffic! But it takes a tiny deflection that takes the sting out of it, Kobel down in time.

33’: Big ugly collision, looks like Kobel took a knee to the head from Chukwueze

37’: GOAL MILAN!! Samuel Chukwueze does the most amazing dribble you will ever see! He cuts between two defenders, fires from wide, gets a tiny deflection and hits the far side of the net!

43’: Adli’s shot is miles wide.

68’: Giroud with the header! But right at the keeper.

    Not a surprising result given the team’s missing Leao. Fact of the matter is that this Milan team finished 5th last year and it shows, a lot of good players but not great, which can be said about all their summer signings.

    Milan didn’t belong to the CL this year, they shouldn’t be there given they were fifth last year.

      Milan were hard done by their poor finishing imho. The should’ve won both first legs vs Newcastle/BVB.

        I laugh every time I see “they should have won”, what a ridiculous claim. They deserved to lose and draw, they are trash.

    Ah man, really like AC Milan and wanted to see them through. Still a small hope I guess.
