"AC Milan travelled to Pisa for a long-awaited clash, after ten days of rest, and managed to extend their winning run with a 1-2 scoreline. Due to the rescheduled Como game, which will be played on Wednesday instead, Milan had a lot of time to prepare for this one. Yet, it ended up being a rather difficult task as an 85th-minute winner was needed from none other than Luka Modric."
"The 40-year-old continues to impress with his physicality, but more importantly, with his mentality that keeps him going and makes him an example for others. Excluding the goal, it's probably fair to say that the performance wasn't his best as he misplaced more passes than he usually does, while also losing possession a few times. However, as most veterans would do, he refused to give up."
AC Milan secured a 2-1 win at Pisa after ten days of rest and with the Como fixture rescheduled, relying on an 85th-minute goal from Luka Modric. Modric showed leadership and relentless mentality despite an otherwise imperfect performance that included misplaced passes and occasional turnovers. Defensive displays were mixed: Zachary Athekame and Strahinja Pavlovic impressed, with Athekame assisting a goal and Pavlovic winning the penalty converted by Niclas Fullkrug, while Tommaso Bartesaghi and Gabbia delivered adequate but unspectacular contributions. The result preserved crucial points in the Scudetto race against Inter.
