Overview
- Ruben Loftus-Cheek opened the scoring, Christopher Nkunku converted a penalty, and Adrien Rabiot added a third shortly after halftime.
- The victory moves Milan to 50 points from 23 matches, five behind Inter, and extends their Serie A unbeaten run to 22.
- Christian Pulisic did not travel due to bursitis near his hip, with Rafael Leao on the bench and Alexis Saelemaekers and Santiago Gimenez also unavailable.
- Massimiliano Allegri praised the Nkunku–Loftus-Cheek pairing and said Milan still must improve their ball management despite the clean sheet.
- Separately, reports say Milan have backed away from signing Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta after additional medical checks indicated knee surgery would be required.
