It is not certain that the French players will take the next penalties obtained by AC Milan. Because this Saturday evening, as part of the 22nd day of Serie A, the Milanese club conceded a draw at home against Bologna (2-2), after a meeting during which Olivier Giroud ( 41st), then Theo Hernandez (74th), in turn missed their attempt from 11 meters. The first saw ukasz Skorupski, the Bologna goalkeeper, go the right way and the second found the post.
As for the third French holder, Mike Maignan, who benefited from a touching tribute at the start of the match, he did not stand out either, since he therefore conceded two goals, on a strike from Joshua Zirkzee ( 0-1, 29th) then on a penalty converted by Riccardo Orsolini (2-2, 90th). The Blues goalkeeper was also lucky to see Zirkzee narrowly miss the target in the 48th minute, when the Dutchman seemed in a position to score. The fourth tricolor, Yacine Adli, was fairly neutral in the midfield.
Offensively, the Rossoneri owed their salvation to Ruben Loftus-Cheek, author of a double. The Englishman, who arrived this summer from Chelsea, first cut a cross from Davide Calabria (1-1, 45th) at the near post, before heading a bell serve from Alessandro Florenzi (2- 1, 83e). In the meantime, an attempt by Tijjani Reijnders was repelled by the crossbar (64th). After this disappointing draw, AC Milan remains third and misses the opportunity to catch up a little on the leader, Juventus, who, a little earlier in the day, had stumbled against Empoli (1-1) .
