Leao brings Milan on course
Milan continued to cement their top spot almost lacklusterly without their Swedish star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic against Genoa. Goals from Rafael Leao (11′) and Messias Junior (87′) were enough for the hosts to extend their 11-game unbeaten run. The last time Milan lost was almost three months ago in a 2-1 home defeat by Spezia.
Inter didn’t feel embarrassed in the duel with Spezia. Marcel Brozovic (31st), Lautaro Martinez (73rd) and Alexis Sanchez (90th + 3rd) scored for the title holder.
Reports on club sales
More than the Milan duel for the title, reports on the future of the leaders dominated talks on the Apennines on Friday. According to AP, Reuters, Bloomberg and L’Équipe, the owners are said to be well advanced in negotiations to sell the property to Bahraini investment group Investcorp.
