AC Milan, 3 games without a win in Serie A – Up next is a trip to the leader Napoli
The current champion of Italy is seriously shaking for a place in the Champions League next season.
The team for which Ciprian Tătărușanu also plays lost away from Udinese, score 3-1, following a match in which the guests were more concerned with possession.
In the 9th minute, the hosts opened the scoring through Roberto Pereyra, who finished from Samardzic’s pass.
Milan restored parity in first-half extra time (min 45+3) through Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who converted a shot from 11 metres, but went into the break still in charge after Beto scored in the 45+5 min.
In the second half, Pioli tried to change something by introducing Krunic and Rebic, but the game continued to fall short of expectations.
Moreover, Udinese scored for the third time in the 70th minute when Dutchman Kingsley Ehizibue headed home Mike Maignan’s goal.
With this result, Milan only deepens the crisis, given that the double with Napoli in the quarterfinals of the Champions League is quite close.
Milan will even meet Luciano Spalletti’s team in the next round of the championship.
