AC Milan were left with a very familiar feeling after last night’s draw against Genoa. Once again, they have stumbled against a side much below them in the rankings.
It seems growingly obvious that this Milan team has a kryptonite, and it is teams below them in the league, within reason. The promoted sides each ended their games with the Rossoneri with a result, but the theme has extended to the bottom-half teams generally.
A familiar feeling
As Corriere della Serea write, via MilanNews, the recent wins against Hellas and Cagliari may have offered a slight bit of comfort. However, as they returned to San Siro, the woes were highlighted once again.
Of course, they could have ended the game without points after the last-minute penalty incident, but a bit of fortune meant they evaded a second loss of the season.
Their run of unbeaten games, as a result, now stands at 17 games, which is a first since 2004. However, there is ‘little to celebrate’, due to the continued missteps against the ‘smaller’ teams in the division.
If it were not so frequent, it would not be so troubling, but these games add up, and they have done. There is now a three-point gap to the top spot, and many may already feel like the Diavolo have relegated themselves to the Champions League dogfight.
