"There was hope that AC Milan could fire their way back into the Scudetto race with a win against Como on Wednesday. However, that wasn't the case, unfortunately. This season has been a difficult one to navigate. The Scudetto has never been the goal, but it has hung like a carrot ahead of Milan, there to take, if only they wanted to reach for it. Yet, when given the opportunity to do so, they have stumbled."
"Another obvious point from the draw was that Leao still wasn't right and was clearly struggling. While he scored the decisive leveller, his game was shallow. Without runs into the box or a clear reference point, he struggled to make an impact. The redeeming point is that he scored, showing he can still be key even when he is not at his best. Yet, the over-reliance on certain players being at their best is potentially starting to show..."
AC Milan drew 1-1 with Como, failing to reignite a realistic Scudetto push despite a hoped-for win. The team fell behind, recovered a leveller, but rarely looked like title contenders during the match. Performances were lacklustre, with both goalkeepers partly culpable for the goals and the overall result reflecting a fair outcome. The single point changes little in the title standings and a substantial gap to the leaders remains. Rafael Leao scored the leveller but showed clear physical and tactical limitations, providing only a shallow influence. Dependence on a few key performers is increasingly exposed.
