Result Sassuolo 2 - 0 AC Milan, Sunday 3 May 2026, Serie A Week 35 A tough loss for AC Milan as they fell to Sassuolo in the Serie A Week 35 match on Sunday, May 3, 2026, at the Mapei Stadium. This marks Milan's fourth defeat in their last seven games. It seems Milan is finishing the season feeling drained after striving to keep pace in the Scudetto race with Inter; they simply ran out of steam and have now lost their second position. Milan currently holds 67 points, just three points behind Napoli, who sit in second place with 70 points. AC Milan is at risk of losing their Champions League spot as city rivals Inter Milan close in on the Serie A title. In third place, Milan is now two points ahead of Juventus, who have 65 points in fourth, and five points clear of fifth-placed Como, who are at 62 points and are eager to break into the top four for a Champions League position. Sassuolo has reached 49 points. To put it simply, Milan's start was rocky. Domenico Berardi netted an early goal for Sassuolo, marking his 12th career goal against Milan. Fikayo Tomori received a red card in the 24th minute, and after the break, Armand Laurienté extended Sassuolo's lead. Just imagine how dire the situation is; Milan has managed to score only one goal in their last five matches. Sassuolo increased their lead early in the second half with Laurienté's goal. The only silver lining for Milan is Pavlovic, the last of his teammates to give in. Fabio Grosso's team delivered a clinical performance, now tying with Bologna for eighth place in the standings.  

Armand Laurienté is the Panini Player of the match #SassuoloMilan
