"AC Milan dropped two points against Parma on Saturday evening, squandering a two-goal lead after a second-half collapse that left Massimiliano Allegri furious. As highlighted by today's edition of Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan have dropped seven points against teams that are looking to avoid relegation: the 2-1 defeat to Cremonese, the 2-2 draw against Pisa, and now the 2-2 draw against Parma."
"Allegri's men had a 2-0 lead after 25 minutes, then slumbered, and Parma went from being dominated to dominating Milan. There's no point complaining about the huge chances squandered towards the end by Pulisic and Saelemaekers. Milan shouldn't have been caught to begin with, so taking the win for granted was the gravest mistake of them all. After 25 minutes of the first half, no matches are ever won."
"After the second goal, Milan got way too comfortable with their lead, to the point of relaxation. Pervis Estupinan ended up in a duel with Sascha Britschgi, a shoulder-to-shoulder duel in which the Ecuadorian looked like a wimp (indeed, he got a very poor rating by us). Britschgi passed to Adrian Bernabe, who was left with enough space to fire a shot into the top corner. A great goal, without a doubt, but it all came from very poor defending."
AC Milan built a 2-0 lead inside 25 minutes but relaxed and allowed Parma to take control, resulting in a 2-2 draw. Milan have now dropped seven points against relegation-threatened teams, including losses or draws to Cremonese, Pisa, and Parma, leaving them level on points with Napoli and vulnerable to being overtaken. Several clear chances were wasted late by Pulisic and Saelemaekers. Defensive errors, notably Pervis Estupinan losing a duel that led to Adrian Bernabe's top-corner goal, reduced the cushion to one before half-time. Massimiliano Allegri reacted angrily but his halftime outburst did not prevent the collapse.
