after leaving behind the rival in the first leg of the Champions League semifinalsMilan is also in a delicate situation in the Italian Championship. This Saturday, the Rossoneri were defeated by Spezia away from home, by 2-0, and moved away from the G-4.
At the Alberto Picco Stadium, Przemysław Wiśniewski opened the scoring in the 30th minute for Spezia and Salvatore Esposito sealed the victory ten minutes later. Giroud, Calabria, Krunic and Rafael Leão were rested and did not start playing.
However, starters like Theo Hernández, Maignan, Kjaer and Brahim Diaz were on the field from the beginning of the game in the mixed team and did not have good performances. Milan missed the opportunity to overtake the Inter Milan in the table and now can see the rival open up to five points of advantage in the fourth position.
With the defeat, the Rossoneri stopped in the Italian Serie A with 61 points added and could lose fifth place if Roma beat Bologna this Sunday. In addition, Milan arrives with shaken confidence for the second leg of the semifinal of the Champions Leaguein which they will have to reverse a 2-0 loss to Inter in the first leg.
