"AC Milan were held to a second draw in a row on Tuesday night, but the Atalanta game leaves a very different taste to the one against Pisa. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) report this morning, Atalanta have made draws their constant companions this season. It was the seventh in nine games last night and their fifth consecutive in Serie A. They're still left with the feeling of something unfinished."
"Milan, on the other hand, have had to accept a tie for the third time in their last four matches, and their results reveal disappointment (the missed penalty against Juve), relief (the 93rd-minute equaliser against Pisa) and now other doubts, the perception of halted momentum. It may not be a bad point in the scheme of the season, but the idea of Milan being title favourites or even contenders is fading fast."
AC Milan have drawn three of their last four matches, producing disappointment, relief and growing doubts about their momentum. Atalanta have drawn seven of nine games and five consecutive Serie A matches, leaving a sense of something unfinished. Milan managed only one shot on target, the goal, then dropped deeper and adopted a 5-3-2 that created density but exposed flanks. Leao showed limited contribution and fatigue and was substituted; Pulisic's deeper positioning altered attacking balance. Milan also suffer from frequent mistakes when progressing out of their defensive third, undermining control and attacking threat.
