"AC Milan surrendered a winning position again as they drew 2-2 with struggling Parma at the Stadio Ennio Tardini on Saturday. The phrase 'two points dropped' has never been more befitting, and Milan will be left kicking themselves after they went two goals up before 30 minutes had been played. Alexis Saelemaekers opened the scoring with a lovely precision shot, then Rafael Leao fired in a penalty the Belgian won."
"Although Milan were listed in a 3-5-2 on paper, their in-possession shape looked far more like a 4-3-3. De Winter pushed high and wide to act as the right-back, while Fofana, Modric and Ricci formed a flat midfield trio. Saelemaekers operated as an advanced right winger, often holding width to stretch Parma's backline. The flat midfield three was especially evident when Milan were out of possession, with Fofana maintaining close proximity to Modric and Ricci, ensuring compactness and balance in the middle of the park."
"A moment of madness led to Adrian Bernabe's wonderful goal just before the break and that seemed to fire Parma up. They equalised through Enrico Delprato in the second half after a spell of pressure that suggested a goal was coming. Milan missed big chances to win it - including Christian Pulisic and Saelemaekers spurning one-on-ones - and had to settle for a draw."
AC Milan surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Parma at the Stadio Ennio Tardini. Alexis Saelemaekers opened the scoring and Rafael Leao converted a penalty to put Milan 2-0 up before 30 minutes. Adrian Bernabe scored just before half-time and Enrico Delprato equalised in the second half after sustained Parma pressure. Milan missed big chances to win, including one-on-ones by Christian Pulisic and Saelemaekers. The result dropped Milan to third as Inter and Roma won. Massimiliano Allegri reverted Pervis Estupinan into the side; in possession Milan resembled a 4-3-3 with a flat midfield trio. Ricci and Estupinan stretched Parma's defence to create central space for Leao, Nkunku and Modric.
