"He had tested the four-man defence in recent days at Milanello. He started with a 4-4-2, then a 4-1-4-1 with Leao as the second striker and then on the left. Then it changed to a 5-4-1, but it's the new tactical configuration, the four-man defence, that he tested several times in recent days and beyond. An Allegri-style victory, with little control of the ball."
"When Como took the lead, it seemed Milan were heading for another one of those games. Even with Christopher Nkunku's penalty, for a split second, the Rossoneri were letting it slip. However, the Frenchman's effort was too powerful and found the net. In the second half, although it was much of the same, Massimiliano Allegri's team managed to score another two goals, thanks to Adrien Rabiot, who later won Man of the Match."
AC Milan returned to winning ways after two draws, strengthening their position in the Scudetto race. Como scored first, briefly putting Milan under pressure, until Christopher Nkunku equalised from a powerful penalty. In the second half Adrien Rabiot scored twice and was named Man of the Match. The performance prioritized results over possession, reflecting Massimiliano Allegri's pragmatic approach. The coach tested a four-man defence in training, experimenting with 4-4-2, 4-1-4-1 (with Leao as second striker/left) and a 5-4-1. The dressing room celebrated energetically, signaling an important psychological shift.
