Milan-Genoa returns to San Siro, one classic of Italian football, after a year of absence. The match was not played last year because Genoa played in Serie B. This Saturday the two teams will compete with little to play for; Milan has already earned the arithmetic qualification for the next Champions League and is aiming for second place, Genoa, with salvation already in their pocket, must ask for a finish worthy of the good season played.
The history between the two teams rewards Milan but Genoa gave more than a few disappointments to the Rossoneri and in the last two matches played at San Siro it was pretty close. Both previous in the 2021/22 season, championship year. The championship match ended 2-0 with goals from Leao and the current rossoblu Messias, with Milan returning to scoring in that match after a month of abstinence; after which there was the Italian Cup match which ended 3-1 but only in extra time. Ostigaard opened the scoring for Shevchenko’s Genoa, Giroud equalized and then decisive goals from Leao and Saelemaekers. Crazy games.
