If the title on paper is an impossible mission, at least Milan manages to strengthen their position for a place in the Champions League, their main objective. On the eve of the "Madonnina" derby, the eternal challenge against Inter, the "devil" comes out with 3 points from the transfer against Cremonese, any other result would put Allegri's team under even more pressure.

With the Pulisic-Leao duo at the top of the attack from the first minute, contrary to expectations, Milan suffered quite a bit, at a time when they were missing after the final, they were not accurate in the attacking phase, with Pulisic and Leao wasting quite a bit. On the field, Milan had total control of the game, but the "devil" fans had to wait for the 90th minute to celebrate, where during the development of a corner kick, Pavlovic deflected the ball enough to send it into the net, a goal with a lot of weight that freed the Rossoneri. In the following action, with a quick counterattack, Nkunku invited Leao to score the second and calm goal, making the Rossoneri maintain the 10-point difference with Inter, while breaking away +6 points from fourth-place Roma.

Finally, Allegri and the entire red and black environment can breathe freely after this 0-2 success.: "Winning was important to forget that defeat against Parma, to get even closer to our objective and to prepare as well as possible for the derby against Inter", said Allegri.

Rafa Leao was also in the same line with Allegri: "We had to win this match at all costs. Now against Inter it will be another match, not a league match, but the derby is a personal match for all of us. We have respect for Inter, they have a great team, but we want to win that match, so Inter is a life or death match," Leao said.
