“We’re delighted with the way we’ve finished 2021. We’ll rest up a bit now then get going again next year with the same spirit.

“I had big hopes when I joined Inter in the summer, then I got to know the players and that reinforced my belief.” Coach Inzaghi said.

The unfavorable weather conditions and the pressure of rounding off 2021 with a win after that defeat to Napoli on matchday 18 could have taken its toll on the Rossoneri, but Milan defeated Empoli 4-2 away from home.

The three points were certainly well deserved and were picked up following a Kessie brace, Florenzi’s first goal for the Club and Hernández’s strike. Pioli’s decision to deploy Franck further up the field paid off as the Ivorian starred in the first half.

“We have certainly grown, through the Champions League and also the difficulties. When you always win there is the risk of settling down, while when you take a few slaps you learn more.” Pioli said after the game.

AC Milan have taken 42 points from 19 matches and stay in second place in the table, four points behind the leaders Inter Milan. The fight will definitely continue into 2022.

Meanwhile…

Jesus gave a Christmas gift to Spezia as the defender’s own goal ensured the Armando Maradona Stadium experienced a true silent night.

Napoli went from hero to zero, as a Juan Jesus own goal, some remarkable misses and two disallowed efforts saw sorry Spezia earn a shocking 1-0 away victory.

The defeat put the Luciano Spalletti led team third on the log with 39 points, seven behind the leaders and just a point adrift Atalanta who sit forth with 38 points.

Spalletti after the game couldn’t hold back lamenting how limited they were in the attack.

“Unfortunately, without Victor Osimhen we don’t have as many options for attacking, so we need to always pass it around and unlock defenses that way.”
