Let’s take a look at the player ratings for this surprising AC Milan vs Lille Europa League match played at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.
We all expected AC Milan to continue their unbeaten run tonight against Lille in a new Europa League match. But this French squad has what all the great underdogs in Europe have, a well-utilized squad. They have been picking great unknown players for years and this season is no exception. Tonight, Lille visited Giuseppe Meazza Stadium with a clear objective to win against the only remaining undefeated club in the continent.
As a hard-fought match reached the 20th minute, Romagnoli committed a penalty that Yazici scored from the spot for Lille. This was more than enough for the French squad to protect their advantage throughout the first 45 minutes of the game. Milan seems quite tired already, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not himself as no player has gotten any rest at all.
Yazici gets a hat-trick for Lille.
Aided by a dominant Renato Sanches in midfield, Yusuf Yazici managed to score a hat-trick that ended with AC Milan’s 24-match run without losing a single game. The man of the night took a ball from outside the box and sent a complicated shot in which Donnarumma could’ve done much more. During the last goal of the game, David set Yazici up for the third goal in a beautiful collective effort from Lille.
A historic 0-3 from which AC Milan wasn’t able to recover, even Zlatan Ibrahimovic left the pitch after 60 minutes. Even though this is not the result Milan was expecting, at least they can take some pressure off without that undefeated stigma on their backs. Great showing from Lille as one of the tournament’s underdogs. Take a look at all the results of a lively Europa League Wednesday.
