AC Milan is the squad that is currently in the best form in Serie A, even though they are not nearly in a title battle. The victory over Lecce, which Milan won with ease by a score of 3-0, was Milan’s fifth consecutive victory in the league and their seventh consecutive victory across all competitions.
Milan was able to coast through the game and keep one eye on their forthcoming quarterfinal match against Roma in the UEFA Europa League thanks to a quick start that included goals scored by Christian Pulisic and Olivier Giroud within the first twenty minutes of the match.
Nikola Krstovic made a clumsy jump with a very high boot and caught Chukwueze in the ribs, which resulted in Lecce being reduced to ten men. Despite the fact that it appeared to be an accident, the referee decided to give a straight red card because it was exceedingly clumsy and dangerous.
Immediately following the restart, there was additional controversy as Pontus Almqvist was brought down by Theo Hernandez in a shoulder-to-shoulder challenge. Almqvist was hit on the head by Hernandez as the defender vaulted over him.
Milan went on the counterattack and scored immediately with Rafael Leao on a through ball from Adli. The referee did not stop play and Milan continued to take the initiative. Saverio Sticchi Damiani, the President of Lecce, stormed off in the stands, but the Video Assistant Referee was unable to assist since there was no foul because there was no foul.
Milan’s victory puts them nine points ahead of Juventus, who are currently in third position and will be playing host to Fiorentina on Sunday. It is going to take a miracle for Milan to win the league because they are still 11 points behind the leaders, Inter, who are getting closer and closer to winning another championship at this time. They have the best chance of succeeding if they maintain their position at the top of the table and continue their winning streak in the Europa League.
