"AC Milan and Como played out a 1-1 draw at San Siro on Wednesday night, a result that further dents the fading Scudetto hopes. In the previous three meetings between the two Lombardy sides, it is Como who had taken the lead. It became four in a row when Nico Paz got the opener, profiting off a slack pass out from Mike Maignan to slot into an empty net."
"Milan got level with a chance out of nowhere, as Ardon Jashari launched a 50-yard ball to Rafael Leao who lobbed the onrushing Butez. Both sides had half-chances to grab all three points, but it remained all square. The result means that the Rossoneri are now seven points behind their city rivals Inter. With just 13 games to go and 39 points to be won, it feels as though the Scudetto hopes have slipped away, barring a collapse from the city rivals."
"In what was dubbed a clash of stylistic extremes, the question everyone wanted to know was whether Cesc Fabregas' aggressive, high-PPDA Como side would finally get the better of Massimiliano Allegri's compact mid-block and transition-heavy approach. Allegri made four changes to the starting line-up from the team that beat Pisa on Friday. Koni De Winter returned to the three-man defence in Matteo Gabbia's place, while Ardon Jashari and Samuele Ricci got the nod in midfield over Youssouf Fofana and the suspended Adrien Rabiot."
AC Milan drew 1-1 with Como at San Siro after Nico Paz opened the scoring following a slack pass from Mike Maignan, and Rafael Leao equalised via a lob from a 50-yard Ardon Jashari assist. Both teams produced half-chances but could not find a winner. The draw leaves Milan seven points behind Inter with 13 games remaining, severely damaging Scudetto prospects unless Inter collapse. Massimiliano Allegri made four changes to his lineup, while Cesc Fabregas adjusted Como’s shape to match Milan’s 3-5-2 on paper. Como maintained a 3-2 build-up structure and used Paz and Baturina without a recognised striker.
