Another bad performance of the Rossoneri, who complicate life with an error of cage and the expulsion of Musah in the first half. Baturina, Pulisic and Pjaca scored, removed a penalty from the hell. The play -offs will find one between Feyenoord and the bianconeri

Milan goes out of the round of 16 which will now have to look for in the playoffs in mid -February. After five successes in a row in the Champions League, the Rossoneri end up on the carpet on the field of Dinamo which despite the feat sees his journey to the Champions League stop. In short, all discouraged. For the devil, the Ko in the Maksimir stadium is a frozen shower: the enthusiasm for the statement in comeback on Parma is already part of the past because the formation of Conceiçao also gives a time to a clearly lower opponent once. The reaction of the recovery is not enough because Maignan and his companions are in numerical inferiority for the double warning of Musah and for the cage error that gives the 1-0. The network with Pulisic who signs the 1-1 is an illusion and another error in defense condemns Milan to defeat, the second of the ex port coach. And Dinamo, who had always lost in its history against the Rossoneri, at least one reason to smile has it.

Zero Milan

Cannavaro, in the third bench with the Croatians, chooses the 4-2-3-1 and asks for amplitude also to put in difficulty with Pjaca a tomori not at ease as a right back. Conceiçao responds with the classic 4-3-3 and tries to dribble so as not to raise the rhythm to the hosts. The Rossoneri are looking for Leao on the left who tries to break through with his dribbling, but the hosts who exploit a mistake of cage passed ahead: the central born in Busto Arsizio controls a horizontal passage by Pavlovic and loses the ball on the Baturina pressure that comes only in front of Maignan and signs the 1-0. The match puts on the ideal tracks for the Croatians who can compact in their own half of the field and start again, while the circulation of the devil is too slow to find gates between the opposing lines. AC Milan is under its standard, as often happens in the early days of the management of Conceiçao, but the worst is yet to come because Musah, already warned, tears at the edge of the Stojkovic area: for the American it is the second yellow and the Rossoneri remain in ten. Kulenovic, on the assist of Baturina, devours the 2-0, while the devil in the first forty-five minutes never frames the mirror of Nevisic. At the interval, under a network and a man, the formation of Conceiçao has a very high mountain to climb in front of him. Although the third in the standings of the Croatian championship and not a European top club is in front. Incredible, but true.

mockery

The recovery begins with Chuwkueze and Terracciano in place of Morata and cage. Leao goes to make the center forward and the module becomes a 4-4-1 with Pulisic on the left and the former Villarreal Nigerian on the right. The game remains complicated, but Milan has more balance and, escaped the danger of doubling (canceled for a touch of a baturine hand), 1-1 arrives with a verticalization of fofana that fishing in the Pulisic area. The shot of the former Chelsea is strong, but Nevistic makes a mistake and gets stuck on his pole. It looks like the game that allows the devil to go up from hell and instead after another goal canceled to the hosts for offside, the Dinamo goes on again with Pjaca, well served by Ademi. Badly terracciano, who entered to give balance and push to the right, but evidently unable to defend. However, Milan remain in the game because he has more quality than the opponents and the Var takes away a penalty that Leao had obtained an accomplice to be a previous SBRACCATA of the Portuguese on Mmaee. Leao again engages the uncertain Nevisic who takes refuge in the corner on a non -irresistible conclusion. The Dinamo also changes and Cannavaro retraces the center of gravity a bit by passing to 3-5-2 with the graft of fresh forces (Ristovski, Rog and Cordoba). Conceiçao tries by also inserting Okafor and Abraham to deploy a Milan in a whole offensive version, but, despite the 8 minutes of recovery, the draw does not arrive and the Rossoneri will have to look for access to the round of 16 through the playoffs. As the Champions League had placed, thanks to five wins in a row, a real shame.
