In the early morning of April 16, Beijing time, a match in the 33rd round of Serie A, AC Milan faced Genoa at home. Relying on goals from Leo and Messias, AC Milan won 2-0 and once again surpassed their rivals Inter Milan to the top of the table with one more match.
In the pre-match match, Inter beat Spezia 3-1, allowing the former to successfully reach the top of the table in the same round. Milan, who played 2 hours later, had extra pressure on them. Especially considering that in the last 2 games, Milan have not been able to win or even score goals in the game.
On this night, a total of 70,259 fans poured in to watch the game, which is also the peak of Milan's recent attendance. With the help of all the 7W fans, Milan's goal today is to take all three points and continue to form a confrontation with Inter Milan in the standings.
Just 10 minutes into the game, Milan broke the deadlock on the pitch. Kalulu sent a precise cross from the right, and Leo on the left was able to wrap it up in time to end the club's 221-minute goal drought. In the 2022 Serie A home match, Leo has scored 5 goals, the best in the league. It was also Leo's ninth goal of the season, setting a single-season league record.
Due to the recent poor form of Ibrahimovic and Giroud, Milan are also in a scoring drought. Leo's step forward in this game can be said to have saved Milan in time. But it is undeniable that the picture of Milan's match is still very ugly. In the broadcast footage, we also saw Milan legend Inzaghi yawning, and it was clear that he was not very excited about the game.
In the current 3 european competitions, only Roma have reached the top 4 of serie A teams, and it is still the third level of the UEFA League. From here, you can see the gap between the Serie A team and the remaining 3 major leagues. Especially compared with the Premier League and La Liga, the current Serie A is indeed too far behind in terms of technical and tactical level.
On the Genoa side, due to their strength, they did not perform too well in this game. Trailing by 1 goal, they do not dare to have the domineering spirit of breaking the boat. Milan scored the second goal of the match in the 87th minute, relying on Juniol Messias' supplementary shot, and also sealed the victory of the game.
In the end, the match was over, and Milan, with a total value of 480 million, relied on the two goals scored from the head and tail to beat Genoa 2-0, beat Inter in one more round, and regained the top of the league after 2 hours. For Milan, their remaining Serie A fixtures are still challenging, with challenges to face disruptive teams such as Lazio and Atalanta.
