22.42 – It seemed destined for a draw, Atalanta-Milan but a header from Lookman following a corner kick gave the Nerazzurri their ninth consecutive victory. The Devil would have deserved the point but they leave the Gewiss Stadium empty-handed and it hurts badly, because the Orobic team are now 12 points away, waiting for Napoli's match on Sunday. After the emotions of the first half, with Morata responding to De Ketelaere, the pace dropped. One of Milan's few uncertainties led to an opportunity for Lookman deflected for a corner by Maignan. And the Nigerian's decisive goal came from that corner. On Wednesday we return to the field against Red Star, on the 15th we return with the championship where Genoa will arrive at San Siro.

21.33 – A nice first half between Atalanta and Milan. Two teams devoted to attack and they made it clear from the first second. Milan immediately scared the Orobic side, then suffered the impact force of Bergamo and suffered the most classic of the ex's goals: De Ketelaere headed the development of a free kick to open the match, albeit leaning on Theo Hernandez with both hands. For referee La Penna, however, everything is in order. Milan defended in an orderly manner and when they managed to get out of Atalanta's pressure, they found the goal with a nice quick move by Theo-Leao-Morata. Fourth center for the Spaniard in the championship. Bad news: Pulisic's injury after a clash with Pasalic. Captain America has to leave the field before halftime, making room for Loftus-Cheek. Overall a good performance from Milan, Atalanta proving to be like a visit to the dentist, quoting Guardiola.
