From the brink of disaster to the top of the league in just a week: AC Milan, on the verge of sacking manager Paulo Fonseca ahead of last Sunday’s derby, now finds itself at the top of the Serie A standings, albeit temporarily, following a commanding 3-0 victory over Lecce in Friday night’s fixture. Goals from Morata, Theo, and Pulisic secured the win for the Rossoneri.
A touching moment occurred during Morata’s goal celebration, as the Spanish striker embraced his children just behind Lecce’s bench. This marks Milan’s third consecutive league win under Fonseca, following victories against Venezia and Inter. It’s a strong response to the criticism and doubts surrounding the team.
Today, the other Italian teams in the Champions League are in action: Inter kicks off at 3 PM in Udine, Juventus faces Genoa at 6 PM, and the day concludes with the “Champions Derby” between Bologna and Atalanta at 8:45 PM.
