Milan dominates Udinese: 4-0 win despite goalkeeper injury!

AC Milan achieved an impressive 4-0 away win against Udinese Calcio on Matchday 32 of Serie A. This victory confirms the ambitions of the “Rossoneri”, who are currently in ninth place, but are only four points behind the international starting positions. The Italian top flight, officially known as the Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A, has 20 teams that compete in a season that runs from August to May.

The first goal came in the 42nd minute through Rafael Leao, who gave Milan the lead with a spectacular shot into the top corner. Almost immediately, Strahinja Pavlovic headed the score from a corner to make it 2-0, which was a double blow before the break and paved the way to victory. Coach Stefano Pioli's team was in impressive form and made effective use of the game's key moments.

Injury and more goals

In the second half, Milan picked up where they left off. Theo Hernandez made it 3-0 in the 74th minute after playing a nice one-two with Tammy Abraham. Tijjani Reijnders put the finishing touches on short notice in the 81st minute by making it 4-0. However, one unpleasant event marked the game: goalkeeper Mike Maignan was injured after a collision with teammate Alex Jimenez and had to be taken to hospital.

AC Milan, which has been playing in the current season since August 17, 2024, sees itself as one of the most successful teams in the history of Serie A. So far, the club has won 18 championship titles and has been part of the greatest dominance in the league in the past, which was characterized by Juventus, Inter and AC Milan. The current champions, Inter Milan, recently won their 20th title.

Current rankings

After this important victory, Milan remains in ninth place. Udinese Calcio, on the other hand, is positioned in solid midfield and is in eleventh place with 40 points. The league hierarchy is set to be tense this season, with teams fighting for valuable points to secure coveted UEFA competition spots. The top four places qualify to take part in the Champions League, a goal that remains within the realm of possibility after this impressive victory for Milan.

Serie A plays a significant role in world football and not only has many historical records, but is also known for its passionate fans. The league was first held in 1898 and has since seen many ups and downs, including scandals and reforms that have shaped the face of Italian football. Viewership last season was significant, with a total of 11.7 million viewers and an average of 30,867 per game.
