👉 Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
AC Milan, 2nd position with 71 points and a positive goal difference of +25
Cagliari, 15th position with 33 points and a negative goal difference of -23
AC Milan won the Serie A Week 36 game crushing Cagliari on Saturday 11 May 2024 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. It is a great victory for Milan with 5 goals. This is a delicate moment for Milan despite the arithmetic placement in the Champions League having already arrived a few weeks ago. Even today the fans did not support the team as a sign of protest asking for investments for the near future. One of the banners displayed read: “We demand and deserve a strong and winning club. Milano does not settle”.The Rossoneri are coming off a spectacular draw here at San Siro against Genoa 3-3, and have not won at home since the 3-0 defeat against Lecce last 6 April.
Anything but a trivial match for Cagliari, failed to find oxygen in order to save themselves. In fact, the rossoblù are floating in 15th place with 33 points, only 3 more than Udinese who are currently the team to take as a reference for the relegation zone. In a week’s time the rossoblù will have the very important match at the Mapei against Sassuolo.
AC Milan took the lead in the 36th minute. Ismaël Bennacer defeated Cagliari goalkeeper
Simone Scuffet with a left-footed shot to the center.
