Rabiot Brace, Maignan Stands Tall as Milan Overturn Como to Stay Three Off Inter

Allegri’s tactical reset fueled the turnaround, and Maignan’s renewal talks continue following his decisive performance.

Overview

  • Milan won 3-1 in the rescheduled Round 16 at Como, becoming the first side to prevail at the Sinigaglia this league season and trimming the gap to Inter to three points while extending a 19-match positive run.
  • Como led early through Kempf before Christopher Nkunku equalized from the spot in first-half stoppage time, and Adrien Rabiot struck twice after the break to complete the comeback.
  • Goalkeeper Mike Maignan produced multiple crucial stops, notably denying Nico Paz and Da Cunha, with Allegri acknowledging he “kept us in it” at 1-0.
  • Allegri abandoned an initial 4-4-2 and reverted to a back three in the second half, a shift that steadied Milan and preceded Rabiot’s decisive goals.
  • Negotiations to extend Maignan’s contract are described as ongoing, with reports of an offer around €5 million per year plus bonuses and commission details still to be resolved.
