""We started playing with four midfielders in possession, trying to create more passing lines with [Youssouf] Fofana, but we lost our unity after going behind and ran quite a few risks on their through-balls and counter-attacks, so Maignan kept us alive," Allegri told DAZN Italia. "Once we got back on level terms against a strong Como side that plays very well, and can be dangerous, I moved to three upfront, but after we turned it around and took the lead, I returned to how we started.""
""We had other chances too, and so did Como. This is a very resilient team and we wanted the result at all costs. We did well and were also fortunate to equalise with the penalty, but then the game changed completely after the restart.""
AC Milan came from behind to win 3-1 away at Como with a Christopher Nkunku penalty and a second-half brace from Adrien Rabiot. Goalkeeper Mike Maignan made eight saves to keep Milan in the contest and frustrate Como, who recorded 1.78 xG to Milan's 1.28. Milan remained unbeaten in 19 Serie A matches, their longest run since 2005. Manager Massimiliano Allegri highlighted tactical adjustments, moments of lost unity after falling behind, and the team’s resilience. Como suffered their first home defeat of the Serie A season, and coach Cesc Fàbregas felt his young side deserved more from the match.
