AC Milan and Tottenham gave us an exciting duel, in which the first goal did not take long to arrive. In fact, at 7 minutes of the first half, midfielder Brahim Díaz placed the 1-0 in favor of the Italian squad after taking advantage of a loose rebound in the 'Spurs' area, in the match that took place at the San Siro Stadium.
The team managed by Stefano Pioli was in charge of scoring the first goal in this return of the Champions League. The 'Rossoneri' started the first leg duel very well against a Tottenham team that was against the ropes at the beginning of the match.
Theo Hernández won a one-on-one against Cuti Romero and planted himself in the rival area. The Frenchman hit it with his left foot, but goalkeeper Forster managed to chest the shot from the side. However, the ball went straight to Brahim, who hit a good shot with his right foot, but the 'Spurs' goalkeeper made another spectacular save. On the other hand, the Malagan player threw himself headfirst to place the 1-0 with his head on the goal line.
Milan vs. Tottenham: What's to come
After facing Tottenham, AC Milan must return to the local tournament to face Monza, in the match corresponding to matchday 23 of Serie A. Pioli's team will seek to take advantage of the delicate situation of the 'Blanquirrojos', who are not going through a good time in the Italian competition.
It should be noted that the 'Rossoneri' are in fifth place with 41 points, so a victory will be important to continue climbing in the standings. However, after the match against Monza, they will have to face Atalanta, one of their direct rivals this season.
Tottenham, on the other hand, will have to focus on the match against West Ham, which will take place this Sunday, as part of matchday 24 of the Premier League. Antonio Conte's team is in a Europa League qualifying position, but a victory would put them in Champions League spots, so they will seek the victory against the 'Hammers' by any means necessary.
