Milan is little and Genoa takes home a point
He defended the draw with his teeth, had luck on a couple of occasions and, in the end, also tried to make the sensational coup at San Siro with Vitinha. Genoa against Milan laid bare all Milan’s difficulties at the end of the year with Leao on the pitch and Theo on the bench in front of some of the great champions of the past, who arrived in Milan for the club’s 125th anniversary party. In the end it is 0 to 0 which perfectly reflects what was seen on the pitch.
On the pitch it was a real game with the hosts pushing from the first minute and Genoa closed in defense ready to start again. A cliché that Fonseca had imagined and studied. But the ‘fortress’ Genoa has resisted the not irresistible opponents’ incursions and the point to be added in the standings makes the Ligurians happy and darkens the Rossoneri, very far from the Champions League zone for now. A fact remarked by the fans in the stands who gave boos and gloomy thoughts to Fonseca and his boys.
