AC Milan 2-3 Atalanta: Player Ratings
Starting XI
Maignan: 5.5. Unable to intervene on any of Atalanta’s 3 goals, limiting himself to pushing away a few long-range shots.
Pavlovic: 6.5. The only defender who doesn’t make glaring mistakes, even managing to score the consolation goal. Spends 90 minutes chasing De Ketelaere and co.
Gabbia: 5. Completely misjudges both the marking on Kristovic and the challenge on Zappacosta for Atalanta’s second goal.
De Winter: 5.5. Caught off guard on Ederson‘s goal, continues to look uncertain.
Bartesaghi: 5.5. Lacks creativity, misplaces controls and crosses.
Rabiot: 5.5. Fails to intervene on Ederson‘s goal. Makes basic passing errors, highlighting that he too is going through a difficult spell.
Ricci: 6. Tries to build play as best he can, providing the assist for Pavlovic.
Loftus-Cheek: 5.5. No attacking impact, misplaces vertical passes and fails to win duels.
Saelemaekers: 6. Ineffective in attack.
Leao: 5. Often drops deep to look for the ball, but is non-existent in the final 15 metres, and earns a silly booking.
Gimenez: 5. Does nothing of note and clashes with Leao just before the 0-3.
Substitutes
Nkunku: 6.5. Very lively and proactive, shoots several times — hitting the crossbar at best. Earns and converts a penalty.
Athekame: 6. No standout contributions, tries a shot without success.
Fullkrug: 6. His only contribution is a goal ruled out for offside.
Fofana: 6. Brings energy and long-range attempts, but his overall impact is negligible.
Estupinan: N/A.
Manager
Allegri: 3. Same number as the goals conceded.
