Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
AC Milan, 2nd position with 77 points and a positive goal difference of +31
Hellas Verona, 9th position with 52 points and a positive goal difference of +9
AC Milan win the Serie A Week 36 game defeating Hellas Verona on Sunday 8 May 2022 at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium in Verona, Italy. The victory returned the first position to AC Milan reaching 80 points and getting closer to the Scudetto. There are only 2 more games to end the season. Inter following closely in the second position with 78 points.
Simply put, Milan put their heads ahead of Inter in the standings, winning a fundamental victory on the hostile field of Verona, breaking the tabu. Milan continue the dream towards the Scudetto thanks to the spectacular performance of the Dynamic duo Leao-Tonali who gave Pioli’s men the victory. The brace of midfielder Sandro Tonali (celebrating today his 22nd birthday) overturns Tudor’s formation, before the final icing is signed by Florenzi who has just taken over the field. A perfect evening for the first of the class who, after the goal of Pharaohs, was able to raise his head and win a match that was anything but easy.
In the next round, Milan will face Atalanta at the San Siro Stadium while Verona will face Torino.
🎂🎂👊👉 Happy Birthday, Sandro Tonali. A brilliant way to celebrate your 22nd birthday scoring 2 goals for @acmilan, a gift from you to Milan giving them back the 1st position. And a gift from all Milan fans worldwide for you wishing you the best! Blessings.
