The Rossoneri entered the tie on the back of a 14-match unbeaten run in all competitions and also maintaining an enviable record of a clean sheet in each of the last five games. So basically, they were clearly the favourites on paper and also better placed to win. But games aren't won on paper and the Milan of last night were a poor imitation of their recent selves.

Listless in attack and leaky at the back, the home side seemed to have suddenly forgotten all their good performances in recent weeks and everything that could go wrong did go wrong as Arsenal turned up the heat. Milan, very meekly, gave in and the nervous performance showcased the same.

On a night where the Serie A giants should've complimented the aforementioned stats, they rather ended up folding themselves. Skipper Leonardo Bonucci just reaffirmed it in a post-match conference when he enunciated that Milan "were scared" .
