SERIE A: ATALANTA-MILAN 2-1 – FULL TIME

BERGAMO - Milan came back from Bergamo with a 2-1 defeat to Atalanta in their Serie A lunch-match at the Atleti Azzurri d'Italia stadium. After a well-contested but goalless first half, the Rossoneri went ahead thanks to a Bellini's own goal in the 52nd minute. Denis equalised from the spot later on, but the Rossoneri never gave up and went close with Balotelli who hit the post in the stoppage time. It was, however, a Brienza stunning strike in the very last minute who gave the hosts the three points.

COLANTUONO’S PRESS CONFERENCE: “Milan will be very motivated”

MILAN – Here’s some of what Stefano Colantuono had to say in his pre-match press conference:
“Balotelli is an extraordinary striker and he deserves to go to the World Cup. People talk too much about what he does off the field and it’s all too emphasized. Even if he parks his car badly, it gets in the papers. Seedorf’s right when he says to let him play in peace. Sometimes, he goes overboard, but he’s young. Milan will be highly motivated to get into Europe”.
