Atalanta–Milan 2-1, the mini positive moment of the rossoneri is interrupted, with La Dea coming out on top in the end. Subpar performance from the rossoneri, slipping to -12 behind La Dea. The rossoneri ratings.

Maignan 6.5: nothing to say about the goals, prevents a heavier loss. Some mistakes on a few interventions, but he is usually one who saves with the best style.

Emerson Royal 4.5: doesn’t see Lookman coming from behind, and that’s the error that proves decisive. Doesn’t make an impact throughout the game, due to the opponents’ superior technical abilities.

Gabbia 6.5: faces the Nerazzurri attackers head-on and proves to be a tough nut to crack. Holds the line high and avoids shipwrecks.

Thiaw 6: a good performance, without any particular difficulties and with a confidence that is slowly returning.

Theo Hernandez 5: not so much for the performance, not bad but not magnificent either, but for the tendency to protest every disputed referee decision. The challenge against Bellanova is one of the keys to the match.

Fofana 6.5: the Frenchman is among the best and the cleanest of his teammates. As always, he doesn’t panic. Moves the ball well and calmly.

Reijnders 5.5: a couple of interesting insights and jabs, but overall not a performance up to the Dutchman’s skills.

Musah 6: a valuable team player on difficult nights like the one at the Gewiss Stadium. Like Saelemaekers for Pioli, many of the Devil’s tactics depend on his position (from 90′ Chukwueze n/a).

Pulisic 6.5: less than a full half of effective playing time before getting injured. The only real chance of the first half, apart from the goal, falls to him just twenty seconds after kick-off (from 38′ Loftus-Cheek 6: some good moments).

Leao 6: many good runs on the left, and a great assist for Morata. Clearly drops off towards the end, running out of steam too soon for Fonseca’s needs.

Morata 6.5: after Empoli, another goal for the Spaniard, who seems to have found his scoring touch again. It’s a shame it didn’t earn some points, but there are important signs for a rediscovered consistency (from 78′ Abraham n/a).

Paulo Fonseca 5: he prepared the game well, that must be acknowledged. Intelligent ball management and a cautious lineup prevent Atalanta from devouring the Devil with their web of play. However, at 1-1, the team settles, and against such an opponent, it’s never a good idea.
