🏆👉 AC Milan secured a thrilling victory against Slovan Bratislava in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, at the Národny Futbalovy Stadión in Slovakia. The result 3-2, the Rossoneri’s goals came from Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leao, and Tammy Abraham, while Barsenghyan and Marcelli found the net for the home side. With this win, Milan gained three valuable points, bringing their total to 9 and temporarily placing them in a tie with four other teams in sixth position. Unfortunately for Slovan, they remain at the bottom of the table, still searching for their first points.

The first goal came in the 21st minute of the first half.  Christian Pulisic finding the net thanks to a right-footed shot in the box, assisted by Abraham, who had delivered a precise through ball from midfield. Just three minutes later, the Slovakians equalized on a counterattack, with Barseghyan lobbing the ball over Maignan.

In the second half, Milan faced some challenges but managed to score twice in quick succession: Leao netted one in the 68th minute, followed by Abraham in the 71st, seemingly securing the victory. However, the hosts kept pushing and pulled one back with a stunning long-range effort from Marcelli. Towards the end, Tolic received a second yellow card, and Fonseca’s team ultimately claimed the win.

In the 68th minute, Rafael Leão found the back of the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the center. Youssouf Fofana set him up with a perfectly timed through ball. Fofana delivered an impressive pass from midfield, slicing through two lines of defense and putting Leão one-on-one with Takac. The Portuguese star cleverly anticipated the goalkeeper’s move, lifting the ball over him with a gentle lob.

AC Milan is on fire! In the 71st minute, forward Tammy Abraham found the back of the net with a precise right-footed shot into the bottom right corner. Thanks to a misplayed back pass from Strelec, Abraham had the perfect opportunity, turning and, with no one around him in the box, easily slotting the ball past Takac into what felt like an open goal.
