Nothing to do in the Champions League for Milan, which also loses on the Porto pitch and sees the road to qualification for the round of 16 get complicated. At the Do Dragao stadium it ended 1-0 thanks to the goal scored by Luis Diaz, who gave the first European victory to biancoblu forcing Pioli’s team to a third knockout in as many games. The Rossoneri remain at 0 points, 4 points behind Porto and Atletico Madrid and -9 from leaders Liverpool. The start of the match is favorable to the hosts, who hit a sensational post with Luis Diaz after a few minutes from the kick-off.
Then Taremi tries a couple of times, first mistaking a right-footed turn from a good position, then being blocked by a good intervention by Kjaer. The Rossoneri try to shake off with some flare-ups from Leao, but no great opportunities come.
At the beginning of the second half, Porto is still trying to make the game, scaring Tatarusanu with Taremi and Uribe, whose conclusions both end just outside the goal. In the 66th minute Conceicao’s team got the advantage thanks to Luis Diaz’s right-footed shot, which strikes the Rossoneri goalkeeper from the edge of the penalty area. In the last part of the match, Milan tries them all to try to break even, but not even the newly entered Ibra is able to revive the fortunes of his team.
