"AC Milan crashed out of the Supercoppa Italiana final in Saudi Arabia in the semi-finals, losing 2-0 to Napoli on Thursday night. David Neres and Rasmus Hojlund scored before and after the break respectively for Antonio Conte's side to book their place in Monday's final, with Milan putting in another subdued performance to go out of a cup competition, after their 1-0 defeat to Lazio in the Coppa Italia."
"La Gazzetta dello Sport have published their ratings this morning, giving Milan's overall performance a score of 5.5 out of 10, and Allegri's management of the game a 5. The best player in red and black in their eyes was Ruben Loftus-Cheek who got a passing grade of 6. Koni De Winter on the other hand had a disaster in the middle of the back three against Hojlund, and he was given a 3. Fikayo Tomori, Zachary Athekame and Luka Modric were the only ones to join Loftus-Cheek on a 6. Alexis Saelemaekers, Ardon Jashari, Adrien Rabiot and Youssouf Fofana got a 5.5, while Mike Maignan, Strahinja Pavlovic, Pervis Estupinan and Christian Pulisic got a 5. Christopher Nkunku even got a 4."
"Corriere dello Sport gave out 6s to Pavlovic and Modric only. Tomori, Athkame, Fofana, Loftus-Cheek and Rabiot were given 5.5s. Saelemaekers, Jashari, Estupinan and Pulisic got a 5. Maignan and Nkunku were awarded 4.5s, and De Winter a 4. Tuttosport also singled out De Winter (4), Maignan and Nkunku (4.5s) for criticism. Nobody got a passing grade, with the rest being a sea of 5 and 5.5 scores."
AC Milan were eliminated from the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final in Saudi Arabia after a 2-0 defeat to Napoli, with David Neres and Rasmus Hojlund scoring before and after halftime. The defeat followed a recent Coppa Italia exit to Lazio, leaving only the league campaign for Massimiliano Allegri's squad. Tempers flared at full-time and Napoli issued a statement accusing Allegri of using abusive language amid ongoing bench confrontations. Italian media published negative player ratings, with La Gazzetta giving Milan 5.5 overall and singling out several players for low marks, including Koni De Winter and Christopher Nkunku.
