If there were team ratings, I'd give the players 5/10 and Amorim 8/10. He refused to bow to the pressure to make a point despite being 2-0 down. He left star boys Pulisić, Modrić and Gila unused. Bringing on Comotto instead was a good decision, as the game was gone. His eyes are firmly on the bigger picture: extending his unbeaten start to eight Serie A games on Sunday and setting a new all-time record for an AC Milan manager. Mind you, it's not his fault De Winter handled the ball or Mike Maignan got a red card. If you're wondering why I believe in Amorim, tonight is evidence. He thinks outside the box, reads the game well, resists the temptation of instant gratification and prioritises the bigger picture. These are also what I believe in. 🔴⚫️

I reckon the game is gone. I'd rather the boys play the remaining half with more gusto than they showed in the first half. Keep your star boys: Rabiot, Modrić and Pulisic – unused and fresh for Udinese. A win and 3 points against Udinese are worth more than a group stage win over Bournemouth. One is high stakes; the other isn't. Drop points in the league, and you have to wait until the following week to make up for it. In the EuropaLeague, finishing in the top 24 still keeps you in the competition. Priorities matter most right now.

I’m not even lying, I read this as: Tomorrow night’s shege 😭😂
