In full recovery, Milan takes back the favorable score they deserved in the previous 92 minutes for the quality of the game expressed on the Old Trafford lawn, in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16 with Manchester United.

Simon Kjær takes care of that signing his first goal with the Milan shirt on the most prestigious evening: the Danish defender gives the Rossoneri the equalizer with a header that surprises the clumsy goalkeeper Henderson and makes the path towards qualification less difficult. quarters.

Stefano Pioli’s side have long controlled the game at the Red Devils who, just four days earlier, had interrupted Manchester City’s streak of 21 consecutive wins with a clear 2-0 win.

The Rossoneri team proves to be able to exalt themselves in the international arena: the predisposition to face-to-face confrontation without too many tactics, habitual in European cups, highlights the ability of Kessie and teammates to take advantage of the minimum space in offensive projection.

It had all been thwarted at the start of the second half by a combination of two players launched into professional football right on the edge of the province of Milan. Donnarumma, pardoned before the interval by an incredible mistake by Maguire who kicks on the post from a few centimeters, must surrender to a delicious suggestion of the Portuguese playmaker Bruno Fernandes, discovered by Novara, for the 18-year-old Amad Diallo, product of the youth sector of the Atalanta, bought in January by the Red Devils for 40 million. A sum that had amazed because it was addressed to a boy with just four appearances in Serie A. It is enough to look at the impact of the Ivorian striker last night to understand the reason for this bet by the English on the baby phenomenon that grew up on the meadows of Zingonia. Diallo had just entered Martial’s place for just five minutes when he surprised Donnarumma in uncertain exit in no man’s land, scoring his first goal for Manchester United in his second appearance.

But it is only a brief parenthesis. The Rossoneri restart and close to a draw with Kessie and Krunic. It begins to pour down. Pioli gets angry on the bench for not having a second yellow card against McTominay. The smile soon returns thanks to the elevation of Kjaer which makes the return of San Siro less complicated. –
