Milan was one step away from the Serie A title by beating Atalanta (2-0), at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium, on the penultimate day of the competition.

The Rossoneri squad is just one point away from its nineteenth league title, which it hasn’t won for eleven seasons, since it won the campaign 100-2011. On the last matchday he visits Sassuolo, who have nothing at stake.

Stefano Pioli’s team did not fail despite the pressure Inter, second in the table, puts on them . Atalanta, in addition, did not give any facility. He has a European position at stake. It is eighth in the table, level on points with Fiorentina, which marks the continental zone, and one with Roma, in the Europa League position.

Despite dominance, Pioli’s team could not beat Juan Musso, while the visitors looked for their options on the counterattack. He managed to break Atalanta’s resistance in the second half, at the minute 58, with a good individual action by Portuguese Rafael Leao after receiving a ball from Junior Messias. The Portuguese faced the visiting goal and defined well against Musso.

He sentenced the clash in another personal move starring Theo Hernández. A great goal from the French winger, a prodigy of power who took the ball in his field and started a race without brake until he reached the area and crossed the ball to the Atalanta goal.

The victory leaves Milan with the title in hand. Five points ahead of Inter visiting Cagliari. If Simone Inzaghi’s team fail to get the three points, Milan will be champions.
