#2 Milan left undone by terrible profligacy

Milan cannot afford to waste chances in games like these

Now let's look at the flip side of their attacking verve - AC Milan although mustered 5 shots on target, only one found the back of the net even though another two or three should've too, pretty easily.

Having skillfully carved open the Bianconeri backline, the likes of Hakan Calhanoglu, Giacomo Bonaventura and Andre Silva all had gilt-edged chances. Whilst the Turkish saw his effort crash against the crossbar, Bonaventura had the goal gaping after evading his markers and instead of burying it, lofted his shot high enough to send the ball into row Z. The Portuguese striker, on his part, cut another frustrating figure in the box.

The way Milan created those chances deserve kudos, but they account for nothing if not made the most of it. A good chance to spring a surprise perhaps squandered due to the wastefulness, as Milan must learn to be more clinical in big games like this where there are chances aplenty.
