AC Milan beat PSG in crucial Champions League match
On November 7, AC Milan created a surprise by winning against Paris Saint-Germain in a crucial Champions League match. This victory completely reshuffled the cards in Group F and relaunched the race to qualify for the round of 16.
From the start of the match, the Parisians seemed to be in control of the proceedings thanks to an early goal from Milan Skriniar, former Inter Milan player (9th minute). However, the Milanese quickly reacted thanks to a spectacular acrobatic return from Rafael Leão (12th minute), who scored his team’s first goal in the Champions League this season.
In the second half, it was Olivier Giroud, the French striker from AC Milan, who sealed his team’s victory by scoring a superb goal on an assist from Théo Hernandez (50th minute). This goal also allowed Giroud to become the oldest French scorer in the history of the Champions League, surpassing Laurent Blanc.
Despite numerous attempts by the Parisians at the end of the match, AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan made decisive saves and the Milanese held on to win with a score of 2-1.
This victory has important consequences on the classification of Group F of the Champions League. Borussia Dortmund now takes the lead with 7 points, followed by PSG with 6 points, AC Milan with 5 points and Newcastle with 4 points. Qualification for the round of 16 will therefore be decided over the last two days and the Parisians will have to fight to win their matches against Newcastle at home and Dortmund away.
This defeat for PSG also raises questions about the team’s performance away from home. Indeed, the Parisians have still not managed to show their best side during away matches this season and will absolutely have to find solutions before the last match against Dortmund.
This victory for AC Milan also highlights the return to form of the Italian team, which had experienced a series of mixed results so far. With this victory against PSG, AC Milan positions itself as a serious contender for qualification for the round of 16 and could well create other surprises in future matches.
In conclusion, AC Milan’s victory against PSG during this Champions League match has completely relaunched the race for qualification in Group F. The Parisians will have to react quickly and show a better face in the next matches to hope to reach the round of 16. For their part, AC Milan proved that they were a solid team determined to continue their journey in the competition. The next few days promise to be decisive and promise intense suspense.
