Youth League, Milan loses 1-0 against PSG: it is their first defeat of the season

In Paris we start in the rain and end with the rays of sunshine, but Milan Primavera sees only dark clouds, the first of this Youth League. At Georges-Lefèvre, under the eyes of a hundred people, Abate’s boys were defeated by the “baby Champions”. The man of the match is Senny Mayulu, a midfielder with good technique. He showed it to everyone in the 40th minute: left foot from 25 meters straight to the top corner, uncatchable for Bartoccioni. It is PSG’s winning goal (1-0). The good thing is that Milan started aggressive straight away: Mouquet saved the Parisians after a couple of minutes by blocking close-range attempts from Sia and Sala. In the 5th minute, however, he takes away a great right-footed shot from Stalmach from outside the area. In the end, Zoumana Camara, PSG coach, star of Ronaldo’s Inter during the 1998-99 season, celebrates: for him only a couple of matches in the Italian Cup.

Occasions

—

Difficult match for the Rossoneri, less brilliant than usual. In midfield, however, among the Parisian ranks, Ethan Mbappè, Kylian’s little brother, born in 2006, showed off himself. All under the eyes of father Wilfried. Some plays, several quick exchanges, personality. At the end of the first half he tried to worry Bartoccioni with a right-footed shot over the crossbar. Milan leaves the stadium with several regrets. The second half starts like the first 45′. Two chances for the Rossoneri: the first from Jimenez – right-footed just wide after a solo from the left -, the second from Zeroli, close to scoring with a header after a nice move from Cuenca.

Regrets

—

Abate tries to give a shock by inserting Scotti, Malaspina, Bonomi, Magni and above all Martinazzi, protagonist of the most important flash about ten seconds from the end: scissors kick from inside the area from two steps, good Mouquet with his feet. PSG also missed their chances: in the 60th minute Mendy wasted the 2-0 by kicking very high from inside the area, while a quarter of an hour from the end Bartoccioni stopped Zague, a pushing right back (one of the best). In the final there will be room for Ibrahim Mbaye, a fifteen-year-old striker like Francesco Camarda, who is unavailable today. PSG closes Milan on 6 points in the standings. At 4pm Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle will be on the pitch. For Abate this is the first defeat of the season after eight wins and two draws.
