"This is a huge missed opportunity to put pressure on Inter and see how they would have performed. Lazio seemed possessed at the start, when Milan should have been. Then, for goodness sake, they played a decent match, but you can't give away minutes. Eight points with nine games to go is a lot."
"I was astonished by Pulisic who never served Leao, despite making good movements. Leao wasn't angry about the substitution but about Pulisic's failure to pass. Personally, I wouldn't have taken him off, I would have moved him, but we can't always wait for him."
AC Milan suffered a significant defeat against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico, squandering an opportunity to narrow the title gap. The loss leaves Milan eight points behind first place with nine games remaining, making a Scudetto comeback unlikely. Lazio, despite manager Maurizio Sarri facing selection challenges, proved more prepared and motivated, particularly with their fans returning to the stadium. Costacurta emphasized this was a massive missed chance to apply pressure on Inter and test their response. He criticized Milan's inability to capitalize on decent performance and highlighted issues with Pulisic's service to Leao, noting the winger's frustration stemmed from poor passing rather than the substitution itself.
