Junior Messias secured Milan’s third consecutive 1-0 victory in all competition, but Monza’s unbeaten run in 2023 was only ended with help from the woodwork.

Rafael Leao threatened the Monza goal on a handful of occasions, but it was Junior Messias who broke the deadlock with a powerful first-half effort.

Monza threatened first, not once but twice, forcing a couple of good saves out of stand-in goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu at the near post.

Monza did better after the break, Andrea Petagna firing straight at Ciprian Tatarusanu and Samuele Birindelli was

furious to receive a yellow card for simulation, as there was the slightest of contact with Theo Hernandez outside the box.

Theo Hernandez should’ve made it 2-0 only to turn wide when sprinting clear on the counter-attack, but Monza saw costly yellow cards that will mean bans for Nicolò Rovella, Birindelli and Marlon.

Monza came close to an equaliser in the second half when Patrick Ciurria’s effort crashed the foot of the post.

The ball rebounded into the back of Tatarusanu who had dived low to his right, before hitting the post again and eventually trickling wide.

Monza dominated the last 15 minutes but Milan held firm to see out the victory and claim all three points.

Brahim Diaz bundled over the line in an early goal as Ac Milan defeat Tottenham by 1-0 in Champions League first leg.

Both sides went into this game off fairly poor recent form and with numerous problems.

Stefano Pioli‘s side were happy to let Spurs have the ball in safe areas with the Serie A side looking to play on the counter-attack,

primarily through Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao on the left-hand side.

In the second half, Tottenham continued to play well through midfield – with makeshift duo Oliver Skipp and Papa Matar Sarr acquitting themselves well – but the Premier League side lacked ideas and the necessary quality in the final third to really trouble the hosts.

As Conte’s side pushed forward in search of an equaliser, more space opened up in behind for Milan to exploit on the counter-attack.

Milan wasted two glorious chances to score within two minutes.

First, Charles De Ketelaere fired a header wide of the target and then, just a minute later, Leao found Malick Thiaw in the box but he could only divert his header wide of the post.

Milan were able to withstand late pressure from Spurs and head into the second leg with a precious lead.

Inter made the breakthrough after just 10 minutes with their first shot on target, Nicolo Barella rolling a cross into the path of Dimarco who slotted home at the back post.

Milan had more of the ball towards half-time, but without getting any dangerous attempts on target, and after the restart saw Rafael Leao blast just over the bar from a promising team move.

Milan’s best chance came in stoppages, as Ante Rebic saw his cross-shot thump the top of the crossbar.

Ac Milan defeat Salernitana by 1-2 thanks to Leao and Tonali early goals.

Portuguese talent sprinted around Ochoa to score from a tight angle into an empty net.

Leao thanked his teammate for the pass by shining his boots.

Tonali added a goal to that magnificent assist, as his first shot from the edge of the area stung Ochoa’s gloves, but he scored at the second attempt laid off by Brahim Diaz.

Salernitana wasted opportunities with poor Salomon Sambia and Tonny Vilhena finishing,

while Giroud failed to make the most of two big chances straight after the restart.

Milan had the ball in the net on 58 minutes after Ismael Bennacer’s free kick took a couple of deflections before Fikayo Tomori fired in from six yards, but it was disallowed for Brahim Diaz’s offside as he tried to back-heel it in.

Ochoa smothered a cheeky Sergino Dest flying back-heel flick, made a great reaction save to prevent Ivan Radovanovic’s own goal and then flew to keep out De Ketelaere.

Ibrahimovic: Champions League Record Doesn’t Interest Me. I Am Interested In Scoring

The Sweden International Zlatan Ibrahimovic discussed his desire to return to the pitch and how he doesnt cares for Champions League records.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic 41has been forced to the sidelines since May when he underwent knee surgery.

The Swedish forward underwent a knee operation at the end of last season after playing the second half of that campaign through injury,

desperate to help the Rossoneri win their first Scudetto in over a decade.

Ibrahimovic has been working hard on his recovery since, keen to give Stefano Pioli’s side a helping hand as they look to defend their hard-fought Scudetto.

Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport

Ibrahimovic asked how he feels? at Milan’s training camp in Dubai.

“I’m fine, I’m improving day by day, I’m following the protocol we gave ourselves.

Milan misses Ibra but the opposite is also true, Ibra misses Milan.”

when he expects to return to action.?

“There is no set timetable for the return, I am an expert in injury management, I would be wrong to set a precise date.

Were it for the desire, I would have been a starter in the first league game.

But I don’t think like that anymore, when ready, I will play.

“I cannot go on the pitch just because my name is Ibrahimovic and maybe spend a game walking.

If I’m there, I have to make an impact, otherwise, better bench or grandstand.”

Ibra on his ego and growth in maturity over the last few years.

“Of course, I no longer have the ego of ten years ago.

Today I am different, more mature, more responsible.

“I put myself at the disposal of the younger players and the coach, he is the one who decides.

I no longer think I can do everything on my own, I respect every choice, even if it does not reward me.”

Ibrahimovic on why he hasn’t hung up his boots yet.

“Because I still feel the adrenaline, the excitement of the fans, the smell of the pitch.

And because I am not satisfied, I always want to do more. So, I feel alive.

“I chose to have surgery not only to be able to go on playing but also to be well, in the last six months of last season I suffered so much, in silence.

I didn’t want to say this so as not to bring negativity on the team.”

Ibra on his and Milan’s goals this season.

“All of them. If I’m here, it’s because I believe in it.

Scudetto, Coppa Italia, Supercoppa, Champions League, we want everything. Giving up one goal means giving up all of them.

“And our mentality is no longer this. I have no dreams, only goals.

Let’s leave dreams to others, we do. Everything is possible, football teaches that.”

The 41-year-old weighed in on the title race with Napoli.

“We are second at the moment. Napoli are strong, Kvaratskhelia is the player who impressed me the most.

But Juve are also coming back and Inter are in the running. We, however, are there.

“Plus, this is too particular a year with the winter break and the World Cup played in between, it will be a league more about condition and less about quality.

“And from my long experience of winning the Scudetto, I know that the second part of the season is always decisive.”

He looked ahead to the upcoming Supercoppa Italiana clash between Milan and Inter.

“I hope to be on the pitch against Inter but who knows.

Lukaku? Nothing to say to him, I hope he is well and can be there. The same wish I wish myself.

“For the rest I think about myself, not about others, they must be afraid. And the Champions League record doesn’t interest me. I am interested in scoring, only that.”

Ibrahimovic discussed Rafael Leao’s future and other impressive players in the Milan squad.

“Of course, Milan is the right environment for him. Just look at his growth, when he arrived, he was far from the decisive player he is today.

Here he is very important for us, elsewhere would he be as important?

He would have to start from scratch, you can’t be sure he would be ready right away.

“At Milan he has confidence, space and freedom, which is not a given at another club, it’s up to you.

Besides, you can see that he is happy here, by now he is laughing even before scoring.

He is the young man who has grown the most.

“Theo has improved so much, De Ketelaere is strong, and patience is needed.

But Leao is on another level, above average. He lacks a step, he will only do it when he is fully convinced of his abilities.

“Today even he doesn’t really know how strong he is. Then he will be really scary. And the price will go up.”

Ibrahimovic on his future and what he’d like to do after retiring.

“Coaching is a great responsibility. And having been great players does not automatically guarantee becoming great coaches.

“It wasn’t for Zidane or Guardiola, and it wouldn’t be for Ibrahimovic. There are no advantages, it takes study and work, step by step.”

Arsenal XI Vs AC Milan: Team News Possible Lineup

Olivier Giroud proved to be the hero for AC Milan once again, as the late substitute won it for the Rossoneri in the 88th minute to give his side an important 2-1 victory over Spezia at the San Siro.

Following their surprise loss last time out to Torino, Stefano Pioli knew his side had to respond against a team who secured a dramatic win last time they played on Milan’s patch.

Four minutes after Rade Krunic’s strike rattled against the crossbar for the Rossoneri, Theo Hernandez gave Milan the lead after 19 minutes.

The left-back chested down Ismael Bennacer’s cross, before placing an effort on the half-volley beyond Bartolomiej Dragowski.

The home side hit the upright once again before the end of the half, but it was Spezia who struck back halfway through the second,

as Daniel Maldini – on loan to the Ligurian club from Milan – placed a powerful effort into the far corner against his parent club.

Milan then thought they had quickly responded five minutes later, but Sandro Tonali’s strike into the top corner from the edge of the penalty area was ruled out by VAR for a foul in the build-up by Fikayo Tomori.

With the game threatening to boil over in the closing stages, Giroud found a dramatic winner for Milan two minutes from time,

latching onto Tonali’s cross towards the back post with an acrobatic volley into the near corner to spark wild celebrations in the stands.

Seconds later, the Frenchman was shown a second yellow card and subsequently sent off for his celebrations.

Despite being forced to play out stoppage time with a man down, Milan held their nerve to secure a priceless victory to close the gap on league leaders Napoli to six points
