Chelsea takes all bets even at San Siro and saves two more goals to Milan, taking the lonely top of the group. A game conditioned by the decisions of the referees at the beginning of the match, when Tomori was sent off and a penalty awarded to the English: 2-0 the final result that complicates the classification plans, but still leaves the Rossoneri in the race, good at staying in the game until 90′.
The first part, and the entire game, is conditioned by the choice of Siebert, German referee who at 18 ‘decides to put his hand on the red card to punish Tomori, guilty of having hooked with his hands behind Mount who rolled into the net, face to face with Tatarusanu. A decision that blew up the San Siro, with the Rossoneri and Pioli looking for explanations for an excessive measure. With Milan at ten and less than a goal away from the penalty, the game changes and the inertia becomes all English.
An even greater regret for Milan’s good start, which for a quarter of an hour was not inferior to Potter’s team. Then the red, the goal and then the inevitable Chelsea doubling that puts the match on ice with a low shot to the post near Aubameyang in the 34th minute. Pioli doesn’t decide the change first, then opts for a new configuration with a 4-3-2 that no longer sees Brahim Diaz in the median, Dest is preferred while Leão joins Giroud.
Despite the adverse situation, Milan did not sink, Giroud also has the opportunity to shorten, with his header, which he missed from the center of the area. Chelsea hardly accelerates preferring management and control of a match that has already been resolved in their favour, which raises their ambitions for the first place in Group E. The Rossoneri have the merit of playing until the end with their heads held high without thinking about the result, pushing wherever they can. Thus, an open game is born, with Dest that in the 60′ is closer to the personal goal in an excellent move by Leo.
The final flows smoothly, with the forces on the field decreasing and Milan already thinking about the championship again, while Chelsea prefers not to increase the pace and sink again: 2-0 is enough for Potter’s Blues to take the lead. in the group, for Milan everything is complicated even if qualification is always close.
