Real Madrid won 3-2, handing AC Milan their first loss of the USA tour in a friendly. The player rankings for the Rossoneri, however, are listed below. There are many positives to take away from the game
Beginning XI
Sportiello (5.0): He made some excellent stops, but Real’s first goal was definitely a massive mistake. The goalkeeper should probably forget it, although to his defense, he otherwise appeared to be in good shape.
Calabria (6): He had a shaky first half in terms of position, but he rebounded and was fine overall.
Simic (6): Even after Real Madrid had scored two quick goals, he still appeared incredibly mature for his age. It was good to see that he delayed passing the ball once he had it. had a few effective interventions as well.
Tomori (5.5): The goal (a wonderful header) and a significant diving block were the standout first-half performances. He did, though, make a critical error in the second on Real’s second goal and also struggled a lot more.
Florenzi (5.5): He was actually good in his passing but he didn’t really bring much to Milan’s game when going forward.
Loftus-Cheek (5.5): There are definitely positive signs from the Englishman, as he has the ability to advance with the ball with great strength. However, in this game he wasted too many counters by either misplacing the pass or not controlling the ball properly.
Krunic (6): Some questionable moments here and there perhaps (although no fatal errors), but he did well to intercept the ball before Romero’s goal and also was comfortable in the build-up.
Pobega (5.5): Just like Loftus-Cheek, he made some great strides with the ball but lacked the final touch/controll.
Messias (N/A): Came off with an injury before the first half was over.
Colombo (6): He was a warrior for the Rossoneri up front and also had some good passing moments in the hold-up play. He made several good runs but didn’t get the ball from his teammates at the right moments.
Pulisic (6.5): One of the best for sure, getting the assist for Tomori’s goal and looking bright overall.
Substitutes
Romero (6.5): He scored with a stunning strike shortly after coming on and he wasn’t afraid to get stuck in either, helping the defence in several duels. A lively game from him, in a very good way.
Leao (6): He added that spark in attack that we have become used to, almost getting an assist for Reijnders but the effort was blocked.
Reijnders (6): He looked very good on the ball and immediately showed that he likes to go forward. Nearly got a goal, as mentioned, but the effort was well-blocked.
Maignan, Saelemaekers, Thiaw, Kjaer, Theo, Adli, De Ketelaere, Giroud (N/A): We didn’t see enough of these players to give a proper assessment in the 20 minutes they played.
