AC Milan lost a crucial match against Cagliari and failed to qualify for the Champions League. The team entered the game needing a win, but Cagliari took control and scored twice, outplaying Milan in the second half. Many Milan players struggled, and only goalkeeper Maignan received a passing grade. Maignan made multiple important saves, including stops before Cagliari’s first goal and a key 1v1 save when the score was 1-2. Other players were criticized for poor passing, lack of effective decision-making, and weak overall cohesion, while the manager was blamed for a poor approach and inability to change the game after halftime.
"Maignan (6 - MOTM): Left for dead on the goals, it has to be said, and then saved Milan from conceding several more with many great saves. There was one on Gaetano as well before Cagliari's first goal. Not to mention the 1v1 save at 1-2. Wouldn't be surprised to see him leave this summer."
"Jashari (4.5): I'm not even sure he played one good pass tonight. By that I don't mean successful passes, but the ones where you go 'he made the right decision there'. So many good runs not picked out by him. And build-up-wise, I'm not sure about his abilities at all..."
"Allegri (2): Horrible approach to the game, yet again, and this time he didn't have a quick fix to deploy for the second half. Cagliari outplayed us at San Siro and there was absolutely no cohesion in the team. Surely he can't keep his job now?"
"Cagliari took control of the game and found the back of the net twice, outplaying Milan in the second half, with many of the Rossoneri players struggling."
