AC Milan's bipolarity

AC Milan once again suffered its customary bout of bipolarity that has accompanied it throughout the season. The negative aspect was the first half, where they were conservative, lacking in daring, and came very close to falling behind. The poor performance was so pronounced that Massimiliano Allegri's team didn't manage a single shot on target; none of their three attempts were on target. Their closest chance came when Loffus-Cheek was brought down in the box, prompting AC Milan to demand a penalty, but it was ruled offside, a relief for Cagliari. In the second half, things changed, and the Rossoneri were less hesitant, attacking with more force. Loftus-Cheek hit the crossbar, and then Rafael Leao scored just four minutes and fifteen seconds into the second half.

Leao's goal came when he controlled the ball with his right foot and then shot with his left, his shot passing through a sea of ??legs after a pass from Adrien Rabiot, who once again formed a midfield partnership with Luka Modric.
