AC Milan 1-0 Sassuolo: Italian media praise Donnarumma, Suso and Calhanoglu the flops
Milan's game approach was not too pleasing to the day and even coach Gennaro Gattuso himself admitted that the performance was not good in terms of technical quality. Sassuolo had their moments throughout the match but were not capable to capitalize, also due to Milan's solid defence led by Alessio Romagnoli and Mateo Musacchio.
