Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Cremonese, 19th position with 20 points and a negative goal difference of -30
AC Milan, 5th position with 57 points and a positive goal difference of +14
AC Milan need to earn points to climb the standing and remain within the European zone. Milan and Cremonese ended the Serie A Week 33 game with a draw on Wednesday 3 May 2023 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. A draw that slows down Milan in the Champions League race and gives Cremonese some oxygen in terms of salvation. Ballardini’s team finds the advantage with Okereke, good at beating Maignan after skipping Kalulu and Thiaw. Milan goes into boarding mode and finds the goal equal with Messias directly from a free kick (thanks to a deflection that deceives Carnesecchi). The Cremonese goalkeeper surpassed himself in the last action of the game when he denied Krunic the comeback goal
David Okereke opened the score in the 77th minute defeating AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan with a left footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Pablo Galdames.

✅ Stats before the game: After the 0-0 draw in the first leg match on 8 November, Cremonese could remain unbeaten in both Serie A seasonal matches against Milan for the first time. Milan have won all seven home matches against Cremonese in Serie A, among the teams against which they have recorded 100% home wins in the tournament, only against Avellino have the Rossoneri played more matches (eight out of eight). The last challenge at the Meazza between Milan and Cremonese in Serie A dates back to 12 May 1996: the Rossoneri won 7-1 with Fabio Capello on the bench. In May with Pioli on the bench, Milan achieved eight wins out of nine league games (D1), collecting eight clean sheets – if we exclude the two games in June 2020, it is the month of the year in which the Rossoneri with this coach travels in Serie A with the highest points average (2.78 per match). Milan have conceded just one goal in their last five home league games (goal by Salernitana’s Boulaye Dia); the Rossoneri could register three internal clean sheets in a row for the first time this Serie A season.
