Final result: Como-Milan 1-2
Butez 5.5 – Cheeky in the good sense with his feet, he hypnotizes Reijnders by remaining standing until the last moment but on Theo Hernandez’s parable he is caught unprepared.
Van der Brempt 6 – The first task is to contain Leao, he manages to limit the Portuguese, albeit partially. He handles the ball with personality when called upon to set the ball.
Goldaniga 5.5 – He accepts the risk of defending very high, sometimes he has to do it even in the open field: he shows off a sprinter’s recovery on Reijnders. He gets away badly on the draw. From 85′ Gabrielloni sv
Dossena 5.5 – Morata doesn’t fill the penalty area much, with the entry of Abraham things get complicated quite a bit: he struggles in the vain run-up on Leao.
Kempf 6.5 – Emerson Royal disputes, he is on Pulisic to prevent him from unleashing his creative streak. Positional sense and peremptory advances are also seen in the Rossoneri half of the pitch.
Damn 7 – His first start in Serie A confirms the positive impression left on his debut as a substitute at the Olimpico. He sacrifices a lot, even finding time to score a great goal. From 89′ Verdi sv
Engelhardt 6 – Essential in plays in the middle of the field, he always finds codified passing lines without weighing down the maneuver which flows fluidly. From 73′ Perrone 5.5 – Rusty from the long absence due to injury, he struggles to find the right rhythm.
From Cunha 6.5 – In the new role of director tailor-made for him by Fabregas he has been playing for a month and a half and yet it seems as if he has been doing it for a lifetime. Excellent game viewing, but also a ban: he has fun and entertains.
Fadera 6.5 – He has never lacked speed, match after match he is transforming into a complete winger. Giant progress also on the tactical level.
Strefezza 5.5 – Ready, go, warm up Maignan’s gloves. He moves as a second striker, playing next to Cutrone. You squander a great opportunity by making the wrong choice. From 46′ Caqueret 6 – The most expensive purchase immediately removes the price tag, raises the level of quality: assist for Diao.
Cutrone 6 – The great ex of the match is the real enigma for the Milan defence, he lowers himself to take away points of reference from the Rossoneri defense and favor insertions from behind. He commits Maignan in the final. Since ’89 Belotti sv
Cesc Fabregas 6.5 – Ad hoc corrective measures to counter Milan’s propulsive push on the external lanes, the reading of the match is almost perfect. The imprint is also seen when he faces the big teams, without giving up his own identity. The result does not do justice to the performance.
