The Milanese disposed of Bologna this Friday, in San Siro, at the opening of the 36th day of the Italian championship.
AC Milan marked the spirits of Bologna players with a clear success 3 to 1 in San Siro at the opening of the 36th day of the Italian championship on Friday, five days before their reunion in the final of the Italian Cup. Bologna took the advantage in the 49th minute thanks to Riccardo Orsolini who surprised Mike Maignan with a superb rolled strike. But Milan has mental resources and has rarely admitted since it has been trained by Sergio Conceiçao. Santiago Gimenez equalized in the 73rd minute, before the essential Christian Pulisic gave the advantage to Milan six minutes later. In additional time, Gimenez added a third goal.
This victory allows the Rossoneri to grab a place in the classification, from 9th to 8th row (60 pts), and above all to regain hope in the race for Europe. They are provisionally more than three points behind 6th place, qualifying for the Europa Conference League. Bologna remains 7th (62 pts), a length of 4th place, qualifying for the next Champions League, occupied by Juventus Turin.
Milan to save his season
Chance of the calendar, after this duel in Serie A, AC Milan and Bologna have an appointment at the Olympic Stadium in Rome with this time a title at stake. AC Milan has certainly already won the Italian Supercup, but this Italian Cup which he has not won for twenty-two years, can save his season and perhaps even the head of Conceiçao. As a team-surfit of this season, as in the previous season despite a change of coach, Bologna aims at its first trophy since 1974.
