AC MILAN v ATALANTA: MATCH PREVIEW (AC Milan)

Tutto quello che c'è da sapere sull'ultimo appuntamento casalingo della nostra stagione.

AC Milan have recorded four consecutive victories and are unbeaten in 14, while Atalanta have won twelve games away from home this season (only AC Milan have done better in the current Serie A campaign) but haven't yet won two games on the spin in 2022. Even though AC Milan haven't beaten La Dea at San Siro since January 2014, they have won both of their last two games against the Nerazzurri (both in Bergamo): the memorable win on 23 May 2021 and the 3-2 victory last October. The Rossoneri are currently on top in the overall head-to-head record against Atalanta (W53, D43, L25) but this is still a really tricky fixture, even with the two sides in vastly different form. We need to be self-aware in our approach to the match; we’ve been very good so far, but we also need to be very good from tomorrow until the end. Everyone is available - with the exception of long-term absentee Kjær - though Stefano Pioli will have to deal with the possibility of risking suspension for five players: Díaz, Kalulu, Leão, Romagnoli and Tomori are all one yellow card away from a ban. This is a must-win match against the Nerazzurri as the Rossoneri look to go one step closer to the realisation of a dream, though they shouldn't dwell too much on the potential mathematical outcomes. AC Milan are close to a special end to the season and the Atalanta game is their final match in front of the home crowd at San Siro this campaign.

AC Milan 2-0 Atalanta: Rossoneri on the brink of the Scudetto as ... (SempreMilan)

AC Milan took a huge leap towards winning the title as they scored twice in the second half to secure a first home league victory against Atalanta in eight ...

As the first half when on it was the side from Bergamo that asked more problems with Milan struggling to settle into the game. With 15 minutes left on the clock, Milan got the all-important second goal to give them some breathing room, and it was fitting that it was a breathtaking run from Theo Hernandez. The Frenchman picked the ball up on the corner of his own box and ran it almost the full length of the pitch, beating several Atalanta players before beating Musso with a low angled shot. After Messias had cut inside and shot into the arms of Musso when he maybe could have tested the Argentine more, Zapata twice squandered chances to get Atalanta back in it, seeing a shot blocked heroically by Maignan from around 8 yards and then glancing a header from a corner wide. A section of the San Siro crowd thought that Theo Hernandez had given Milan the lead with a free-kick from 25 yards out the rattled the next, but it was the outside netting as his attempt didn’t quite curl back enough with Musso stood still. The first effort of the first half came from Zappacosta when he let fly with his right foot and the ball took a wicked spin off Calabria and thankfully span onto the roof of the net with Maignan sprawling. It became apparently from the early exchanges that Atalanta were looking to sit compact and deep in their 3-4-2-1 and even when Milan broke the line the away side stood firm, as seen in the 17th minute when Theo’s surging run down the middle was stopped by a great intervention from Palomino on the edge of the area.

It is fundamental for Milan to be able to attack through the middle to get a goal in this game. Pasalic equally will be looking to play a big role in this game for his side to get them back into a European spot. It will be interesting to see if Tonali gets the freedom to roam again in this game.

Player Ratings: AC Milan 2-0 Atalanta – Dynasty on the left; centre ... (SempreMilan)

AC Milan claimed three huge points at the San Siro this evening, beating Atalanta by two goals to nil after what was a convincing second-half display.

Giroud (5.5): Not a good evening for him at all as some wanted him off already at the half-time break, rightfully so. Tonali (6.5): He got the job done most of the time and also showed off his brilliance at times. And it was decisive in the end. He embraced his role to the fullest, in other words. He was certainly not nervous when he went on the run that resulted in his 2-0 goal, which was just stunning. He did improve slightly in the second half but not enough to get a better rating.

AC Milan just one point from first Serie A title since 2010-11 (FourFourTwo USA)

AC Milan beat Atalanta 2-0 at San Siro on Sunday and are now just one point away from being crowned champions of Serie A.

The Rossoneri now need just a point away to Sassuolo next Sunday to be confirmed as champions for the 19th time in their history, but could even win it later on Sunday if Inter fail to beat Cagliari. Inter have a better goal difference to AC Milan, but the latter would win the title thanks to their superior head-to-head record in this season's meetings between the two in the event of a tie. AC Milan are just a point away from winning the Scudetto for the first time since 2010-11 after beating Atalanta 2-0 at San Siro on Sunday.

However, it was ordered to be retaken due to encroachment and Insigne thumped his second attempt into the top corner. However, a video review ruled it out for handball from the Inter defender. However, Martínez sealed the result with his second of the match and 25th of the season. And Milan all but sealed the match 15 minutes from time with a stunning goal from Hernández, who mazed his way from the edge of his area all the way into the opponents’ area before firing into the bottom right corner. They only had to wait two minutes, however, before Leão used his pace to run onto a ball over the top from Junior Messias — who had only just come on — and drill it into the bottom left corner in the 56th. Milan upped the tempo in the second half and fans were on their feet nine minutes after the restart as they thought Hernández’s free kick had gone in but it landed on the outside of the side netting.

FSG partners face Chelsea blow after £1bn AC Milan takeover ... (Liverpool Echo)

RedBird Capital Partners - investors in Liverpool owners FSG - are keen to takeover Italian giants AC Milan.

Italian national daily business newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore has suggested that Elliott Management will expect both Investcorp and RedBird to raise their bids. Elliott Management have been exploring a sale, although they have no pressure to sell and could still remain at the helm. A deal wasn't reached during that period and the exclusivity window closed earlier this month, prompting RedBird, who are looking to raise around £2.1bn from their fourth fund later this year, to open up discussions of their own.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was so fired up ahead of AC Milan's crunch Serie A fixture against Atalanta on Sunday that he broke the windscreen on the team bus.

He couldn’t believe it and must have been fuming. In order to finish the season as champions, though, Milan will need to finish the job next weekend when they travel to Sassuolo. A big crack was seen in footage posted on Twitter and the driver of the team bus can be seen pointing this out.
