Milan-Sampdoria 5-1, the Rossoneri report cards: Leao-Giroud uncatchable, Theo nervous
In the convincing victory against the Ligurians, Pioli's team finds play and goals again: Brahim Diaz also shines

Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud, protagonists of the victory against Sampdoria
Milan – The Giroud show: three goals and a constant and "heavy" presence in the area, assisted by a Leao in great shape. The chase for the next Champions League continues.
Maignan 6: more for the 80 meter throw to Leao in the 40th minute which only for a desperate intervention by Zanoli does not become an assist than for the saves given that Sampdoria never uses him. He can't do anything about Quagliarella's goal.
Calabria 5.5: not very proactive, not always precise in closing, he works hard but it's a small thing and with Samp there was room to push forward continuously
Thiaw 6: He doesn't have to break his soul to mark Sampdoria's attackers, too often left alone to their fate, he does his job punctually.
Tomori 6: Like Thiaw, he doesn't have to work overtime, he is precise in closing (35' st Kjaer sv).
Theo Hernandez 5.5: Bad, very bad, in defense when he was blown up too easily by Zanoli on the occasion of Quagliarella's goal. In defense he is alternating current and only Lleris pardons him at the start of the second half. Not very brilliant as in the two derbies even in attack, nervous he also gets a very avoidable yellow (35' st Touré dance sv).
tonali 7: in midfield he dominates the situation, he is in good condition, he also produces excellent balls for the attackers and runs a lot (35' Pobega sv)
Krunic 6.5: you can't see much, he holds his position and does his thing without any sharp details Messias 6: on the right Milan combines little, he doesn't seem very brilliant but he puts in some nice balls in the center (15' st Saelemaekers 6)
Brahim Díaz 7: two assists, the first to Leao and the second to Giroud and then excellent plays and the goal to make it 4-1. (25' st De Ketelaere 6).
Leo 7.5: He scores with the second ball touched, with great timing in his approach and a precise touch, he produces some flashes of his talent and begins the action of the 4-1 with a great touch for Tonali.
Giroud 7.5: Scores a hat-trick, reaches 11 goals in the league, proving to be Milan's primary offensive terminal. Sampdoria's defense is solid but he shows an eye for goal...
All.: Pioli 7: after the defeat suffered in the Champions League, the team appeared willing and immediately focused on making an essential match their own to hope for fourth place and therefore qualification for the next Champions League. Good at re-motivating the team, Samp gives him a big hand
