milan – The Province of Pavia Pavia

REGGIO EMILIA

11 years after Allegri’s surprise Scudetto, Milan sent their people into ecstasy by asphalting Sassuolo with three goals in half an hour, and prematurely closing the derby with Inter that should have hoped for a harakiri from the cousins.

But it is the city of Milan that has triumphantly emerged from the season: after the Inter Scudetto it is time to celebrate that of Milan.

Sassuolo is overwhelmed and its attackers are not set in motion. At 31 ‘Leao drinks Ferrari, the center for Giroud that makes the 18,000 Rossoneri fans of Mapei and those gathered in Piazza Duomo explode with enthusiasm. Like a boxer played Sassuolo flounders and Milan closes the games in the 35th minute: Krunic snatches Lopez, throws Leao to the right, crosses for Kessie’s winning incursion. In the second half the pace dropped but Milan did not give up and there was room to share the Scudetto on the pitch with the 40-year-old Ibra who put in his seal but there was an offside by Leao. Then the party begins –
