Milan’s report cards – Theo Hernandez has never been so negative, Pulisic has an impact tonight too

Final result: Fiorentina-Milan 2-1

Maignan 6.5 – One of the best in Fonseca’s 11th, not only for the penalty saved from Kean. On many other occasions, in fact, he stops the Viola attackers, preventing the deficit from being heavier.

Emerson Royal 5.5 – Interesting start to the match, in which he guarantees constant push on the right and also some interesting crosses. As the minutes passed, so much (and too much) inaccuracy.

Cage 6 – The more attentive of the two Rossoneri centre-backs, with a positive presence even in the opposing area on set pieces.

Tomori 5.5 – Rather distracted in various situations, where he loses opponents or arrives late on important balls.

Theo Hernandez 4 – It’s difficult to remember a worse first part of the match than tonight for the Frenchman. Due to the penalty that Kean then missed, he suffered against Dodò and, to top it off, he missed from 11 metres. The assist for Pulisic is a small thing compared to the rest of his performance, which culminated with the red card after the final whistle.

Fofana 5.5 – After some convincing races, he appears a bit in reserve. He struggled to act as a screen in front of the defense, rarely stopping the Tuscans’ advances. Something more after the break.

Reijnders 6 – It emerges in the development of the maneuver, to which he contributes with passes that are most often precise for his teammates.

Pulisic 6.5 – In a largely opaque match, he mainly touched two balls: one favored the penalty that was then missed by Theo Hernandez and the other slammed it past De Gea in the second half. From 82′ Chukwueze sv.

Morata 5 – Offensive director but also solver, as has been the case for several weeks now. In this sort of dual role, however, he provides the least convincing performance since the beginning of the season.

Abraham 4.5 – He has a tough time against the lily central couple, failing to do the usual job for the team. An evening to forget, also due to the missed penalty in the second half.

Leao 5.5 – As is now customary, it goes in alternating phases. When he lights up, however, his plays are sometimes important for Milan’s offensive dynamics. From 73′ Okafor 6 – Final with very few balls available, in which he still tries to do something on the left.

Paulo Fonseca 5.5 – A step back compared to the last championship games. The choice to release two of the best on the pitch early, namely Leao and Pulisic, was not a very good one.
