The Olympic torch brandished in the last hours by Allegri torchbearer lights up the Lario and the return road of the Rossoneri bus towards Milanello. Speaking of light: Maignan’s saves, Nkunku’s penalty and Rabiot’s first AC Milan brace are the ingredients that allow Milan to illuminate with the three points the darkness of Como’s performance, insufficient in itself, but sanctified by the shots of his men with greater quality. Furthermore, Allegri, by nature, is someone who pays attention to the concrete, and therefore observes above all these three points which nullify Inter’s attempt to escape and leave his team in the wake of the championship (here is the standings). The success weighs heavily because Milan returns home with the knowledge of having won with three goals on a pitch where no one had come before this season (last defeat on 25 May) and where the Como team had only conceded four goals so far. A victorious Devil in a match where he changed the game system three times.

“It’s not a question of tactical implications – specifies Allegri -. We started with four midfielders, we had some good passing lines but after the deficit we fell apart and on a couple of counterattacks we took risks. Then, once the game was back, we started with three in front and in the second half after the draw I preferred to go back to the usual system, also because they started to make technical errors. On Rabiot’s goal, Leao was very good at attacking and gave him a wonderful ball. The penalty? Rafa wanted to kick, Nkunku is a penalty taker like him, at that moment I felt like letting Nkunku kick. The team was resilient and wanted this result. Maignan came in with the right spirit, like all the substitutes it’s not easy when you go behind, I preferred to thicken the midfield. Maignan kept us up.
