With the loss today, Milan are in danger of slipping out of CL spots.
After his initial good performances, Thiaw has struggled to mark his assignments properly at crucial moments. And it hasn't helped that his partner Tomori has had prolonged poor spells as well. Maybe it's time to reintroduce Kjaer?
Unfortuntely Rafael Leao has been nowhere near his last season form, and same goes for midfield. You wouldn't think they'd miss Kessie this bad, as Diaz has some nice tehcnical abilities and Bennacer & Tonali are fine players, but the end product just isn't there.
Obviously a team with ambitions shouldn't be forced to count on old Giroud as their main striker and his even older replacement Ibrahimovic today (though, the retaken penalty was good after poorly missing the first).
With the Juve points penalty, Milan can still finish in top 4, but alomgside Napoli, Inter and Juve are better temas as of now.
Whether Milan can hold off teams like Roma, Lazio and Atalanta is still very much in doubt.
