AC Milan’s Champions League aspirations took a massive hit this weekend as they were dismantled 3-0 by a clinical Udinese side at the San Siro. This result marks a worrying trend for Massimiliano Allegri’s men, who have now failed to pick up a single point in three of their last four Serie A fixtures.
A Nightmare Evening for the Rossoneri
The downfall began in the 27th minute when Bartesaghi inadvertently turned the ball into his own net, gifting the visitors an early lead. Milan’s defense struggled to find their footing, and just ten minutes later, Ekkelenkamp rose highest to double Udinese’s advantage with a powerful header.
Despite the home crowd’s pressure, a comeback never materialized. In the 71st minute, Atta sealed the humiliation with a precise low strike from inside the box, leaving the San Siro in stunned silence.
Current Standings Impact:
Milan remains 3rd in the table, but their position is increasingly precarious. They currently trail Como by five points and Juventus by six, with the added disadvantage of having played one more game than both rivals.
Serie A Roundup: Torino and Cagliari Secure Vital Points
While the spotlight was on the San Siro, two other crucial matchups shaped the mid-table and relegation battles:
Torino 2-1 Verona
Torino continues their upward trajectory, securing their second consecutive victory. Goals from Simeone (6′) and Casadei (50′) were enough to overcome Verona, despite a temporary equalizer from Bowie. The “Granata” have now climbed to 12th place, while Verona remains teetering on the edge of the Serie B trapdoor.
Cagliari 1-0 Cremonese
In Sardinia, Cagliari finally ended a two-and-a-half-month winless drought. A 63rd-minute strike by Esposito proved decisive, pushing Cagliari six points clear of the relegation zone. For Cremonese, the loss keeps them level on points with Lecce, narrowly hovering above the bottom three.
