"AC Milan failed to clinch all three points, which they needed so desperately, as several players failed to deliver against Atalanta at San Siro. Koni De Winter made it clear before the game that additional effort would be needed from himself and his teammates. However, while it possibly looked a little bit better, they still crumbled in the decisive moments as Atalanta found the back of the net three times."
"Maignan (5): I don't have any complaints about the first two goals, but he definitely could have done better on the third. He was caught off guard, and it was the usual near-post struggle for him in that moment."
"De Winter (5): I actually think he did enough to ruin the angle for Raspadori before the third goal, but he still didn't fully close him down, which you could argue is what matters. On the first goal, even if that whole situation was scrappy, he also could have done more"
"Leao (4.5): He was carded for a reckless challenge, which means he will miss the Genoa game, and then missed a fantastic chance just a few minutes later. In the second half, he skied some efforts and had little success overall. He's supposed to be the star of this team, but he's not."
