"AC Milan needed to win to keep the Scudetto race alive against Parma on Sunday, but instead their unbeaten run was ended. As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) write this morning, the game against Parma should have been a chance for Milan to show that they are fully over their hoodoo against teams in the bottom half, and to keep pace with Inter after their win on Saturday."
"Instead, we are talking about the Nerazzurri running away, with Christian Chivu's men now holding a 10-point lead. The defeat against the Gialloblu was a double blow: it also ended the Rossoneri's 24-game unbeaten streak. Just like in 1993, it's once again the Emilian side who have ended Milan's unbeaten streak. Back then, it was 58 games, this time 24. The most substantial difference is that, despite Asprilla's free-kick 23 years ago, the Diavolo still won the Scudetto."
"Everything went wrong for Milan: the first signs came just before kick-off when Matteo Gabbia was forced to withdraw due to muscle discomfort. Then there was the Ruben Loftus-Cheek collision that saw him leave in a neck brace, and of course some now-routine VAR drama for the winner. It was a lacklustre performance on a hazy evening that failed to restore Milan's certainties after Como."
AC Milan suffered a damaging defeat to Parma that ended a 24-game unbeaten run and left them ten points behind Inter in the Scudetto race. The match featured late VAR controversy, injury problems that began before kick-off with Matteo Gabbia's withdrawal, and a Ruben Loftus-Cheek collision that forced him off in a neck brace. Rafael Leao struck the inside of the post as the attack struggled to break Parma down, and a defensive lapse from a set piece allowed the winner. The performance was lacklustre on a hazy evening, Allegri was absent from the bench, and the team must now focus on securing a top-four spot.
