After the Champions League, AC Milan will prepare for the league again. Inzaghi doesn't plan to arrange too many veterans to play in this round, especially Yan Tao, he has played the whole game for three consecutive games, you must know that Milan has been playing two games a week recently, and the thirty-six-year-old Yan Tao will probably be overwhelmed if he continues like this.

Milan's opponent is Spahr, who are at the bottom of the table and 100% relegated, and the opponent is already unintentional. Therefore, Zhang Shujie, Chen Zihua, Xu Ziyi, Yan Tao, Vazquez, and Kessie are all rested in this round, the purpose of which is to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semifinals with Real Madrid.

With Napoli's match a day earlier and Napoli victorious, AC Milan and Napoli have six points in the game with one game in hand. At the same time, Juventus also won this round, and Juventus is currently two points ahead of Milan and is in second place. If AC Milan can't win this round, then they will only be in third place in the table, and they will basically say goodbye to the league champions.

In this round of AC Milan's away game, SPAL's Paulo Mazza Stadium has a small capacity, and the team has been reduced in advance, so there are not many people on the scene, and it looks deserted. The mighty AC Milan scored in less than 10 minutes and it was Kylian Mbappe who took his tally to 31 league goals with a header he was not very good at, and it is worth noting that it was his second header of the season.

The score remained 1:0 until the 73rd minute of the second half, followed by Mbappe, a low left-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area, which turned the score into 2:0, with the strength of SPAL, AC Milan with two goals in hand can be called to seal the victory, and then, Inzaghi replaced Mbappe with Vazquez.

Mbappe has scored 32 league goals so far, and the top scorer is no longer in doubt, the key is to see how many goals he can score at the end of the season.

Substitute Vazquez struck in front of goal in midfield to make it 3-0 and AC Milan returned to second place in the table, three points clear of top Napoli and theoretically still in a title possibility, but with three league games remaining, they must count on Napoli to lose one game if they are to reach the title on goal difference.

Four days later, the second semi-final between AC Milan and Real Madrid kicks off at the San Siro, and several veterans who were rested in the last round of the league are scheduled to start by Inzaghi.

Vallejo's absence has a great impact on Real Madrid, which also makes AC Milan's attack play smoothly, especially Milan is still playing at home, and the attack is more fierce than Real Madrid, like a storm. In the first ten minutes, AC Milan's three shots all hit the woodwork, and Mbappe's shot was kicked out by the opposing defender on the goal line, otherwise Milan would have taken the lead at home early.

However, in the 31 minutes of the game, AC Milan still scored first under the shouts of 89,000 spectators, Chen Zihua received Xu Ziyi's heel pass, and shot with his left foot at the top of the penalty area, the ball was saved by the goalkeeper, Zhang Shujie grabbed the second point, but there was no space, he gave the ball to Mbappe, Mbappe shot directly without stopping, and the score was 1:0!

It was Mbappe's ninth Champions League goal of the season and he tops the scorers' charts. On the Champions League stage, since Ronaldo, Zhang Shujie and other stars have grown old, there has been no such exaggerated number of goals, if Zhang Shujie is at his peak, if he reaches the semifinals, he must be ranked first, and the number of goals must be in double digits.

But Mbappe is not a traditional centre-forward, he has been able to score nine goals in his eleven Champions League appearances, is not inefficient, and he also has four assists. With Mbappe's goal, the aggregate score between AC Milan and Real Madrid is 3:4, and as long as Milan continues to put pressure on the Real Madrid defense, it is entirely possible to equalize the aggregate score.

Real Madrid also knew that the loss of Vallejo gave AC Milan the courage to attack, but Real Madrid was also actively looking for opportunities to counterattack, in the last ten minutes of the first half, their three counter-attacks were very threatening, fortunately Donnarumma was open, otherwise Real Madrid scored, AC Milan had to return to the pre-liberation period.

AC Milan led 1:0 in the first half, AC Milan's offensive continued in the second half, and Real Madrid has been looking for a counterattack, although there are good opportunities, but somehow, Donnarumma, who was pierced four times in the first leg, was very solid in this game, regardless of the difficulty of the shot, he can save.

The on-site commentator said: "Donnarumma is completely out of shape, this kind of goalkeeper is very scary. Unlike players in other positions, once the goalkeeper is in full swing during the game, the opponent can only pray to God for the goalkeeper to make a mistake. ”

There were fans praying to God, but it didn't help, as either Asensio or Mayoral had their shots blocked off the line by Donnarumma, and veteran Mateo Kovacic's long-range shot went through Donnarumma's fingers but was blocked by the crossbar.

It seems that Real Madrid really didn't score a goal today. In fact, their mentality is quite stable, after all, they are still leading in the aggregate score. It's a pity that in the seventy-sixth minute of the game, Mbappe stood up again, first Xu Ziyi broke the ball in the backfield and passed it to Zhang Shujie, the two made a cooperation, and then Zhang Shujie knocked it to Chen Zihua, Chen Zihua picked up the pass with his left foot, Mbappe successfully countered offside, shot with his right foot on the penalty line, and the ball blasted into the door of Real Madrid like a cannonball, and the score on the field became 2:0, and the total score was 4:4!

With AC Milan scoring two away goals, Real Madrid will be the eliminated side if the score is followed by this scoreline. But what kind of team is Real Madrid? As a super team in Spain and a century-old giant in European football, how can they be willing to be eliminated like this? So, in the rest of the game, they pressed almost all the lines and launched a crazy attack on AC Milan's goal in a desperate gamble.

Inzaghi began to direct the team to shrink the formation, as before, they laid out two lines of defense, one in the midfield and one at the back, Yan Tao kept an eye on Majoral throughout the whole process, not letting him get the ball in the penalty area, and the midfielders were paying attention to Asensio to prevent his breakthrough and long-range shots, as long as they held on to the end of the game and did not make mistakes, then Milan would not have a problem advancing to the final!
