AC Milan survived the pressure and win the Serie A Week 24 game on Sunday 26 February 2023 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. Milan won the direct clash with Atalanta, achieved their fourth consecutive victory without conceding a goal between Serie A and the Champions League and regained second position in the standings, reaching Inter on 47 points. Second consecutive defeat, after the one at home against Lecce, for the Goddess who, in the event of a victory for Roma on Tuesday in Cremona, would find themselves six lengths away from the Champions League zone.

A goal in each half for the Rossoneri dominating the match without giving Atalanta any chances. In the first 45 minutes, the advantage of Pioli’s team comes with the first shot on goal: in the 25th minute Theo Hernandez collects a bank from Giroud by volleying with his left foot. The ball slams first on the post and then on Musso’s back, ending up in the back of the net. In the second half, Milan consolidate the goal that keeps them ahead by creating many chances, with Musso decisive on the conclusions of Giroud and Leao, and with the Portuguese again first and Messias then not too cold in front of goal. It is precisely the latter, however, who pack the goal of the final 2-0: in the 87th minute Leao launches the Brazilian deep, who burns on Palomino’s sprint and overcomes Musso’s desperate exit with a lob.

The game started with a bad luck for Atalanta. AC Milan took the lead in the 25th minute thanks to the own goal by goalkeeper Juan Musso. The initial action was organized by Giroud providing the assist to Theo Hernández, who hits the neck on the fly from outside the area. The Frenchman’s shot lands first on the post and then on the Argentine goalkeeper’s back, to finish his run at the back of the net.

A delightful game for the Rossoneri. In the 87th minute, the goal by Junior Messias with a left-footed shot to the center. The assist is by Rafael Leão.

✅     Stats before the game: Milan won 2-0 in their last home match against Atalanta in Serie A (15 May 2022), after a series of seven consecutive matches at the Meazza without beating the Bergamo players (D4, L3); the last Rossoneri coach able to win twice in a row against the Dea at home in two consecutive top leagues was even Fabio Capello (seasons 92/93 and 93/94).  AC Milan have won their last three matches in all competitions 1-0: the Rossoneri have never won four games in a row this season (last time in the season finale 21/22) and they are on a four-game winning streak without conceding a goal since February 2018 (five in that case, three in Serie A and two in the Europa League).  Milan have picked up just one point (D1, L3) in their last four games played against teams occupying the top six positions in the real standings. The last Rossoneri victory against this type of team dates back to the first leg derby against Inter ( 3-2 on September 3, 2022).  Atalanta have lost three of their last four matches in all competitions (W1), having recorded four wins and two draws in their first six matches of 2023; the Bergamo players won their last league match played away and haven’t achieved two wins in a row away from home in Serie A since September 2022 (four in that case).

👉 Lineup AC MILAN (3-4-3): Maignan; Kalulu, Thiaw, Tomori; Messias, Tonali, Krunić, Hernández; Díaz, Giroud, Leão.

👉 Lineup ATALANTA (3-4-2-1): Musso; Tóloi, Djimsiti, Scalvini; Zappacosta, De Roon, Koopmeiners, Mæhle; Lookman, Éderson; Højlund.
