""Allegri watched on as his team played out a 2-2 draw at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, with Armand Lauriente striking late to seal a share of the spoils for the visitors. Sassuolo had taken the lead in the 13th minute through Ismael Kone before Davide Bartesaghi netted either side of half-time to put the Rossoneri in control of the contest. Indeed, at 19 years and 350 days, Bartesaghi is the youngest Italian defender to score for Milan in Serie A since Paolo Maldini (19 years and 247 days) on February 28, 1988.""
""I think we played a good game, we attacked well, and Sassuolo are always dangerous because they have quality in attack, so if you don't recover the ball immediately, you are forced to track back for 90 minutes," Allegri told DAZN. "We played a good game, but in the end, we even risked losing it. Now we focus on the Supercoppa. "The lads played a good game, regardless of the players' characteristics. For now, we are still the table leaders, and our target is to qualify for the Champions League. "We know there's a lot of work to do, and obviously, we must start conceding fewer goals. I absolutely can't blame the lads.""
""Milan ended the game with an expected goals (xG) total of 1.2 from 13 shots to Sassuolo's 1.1 from their eight attempts. While Allegri was unhappy with the way in which his side conceded, he remained upbeat about the campaign. Milan are handed an 86.1% chance of finishing in the top four by the Opta supercomputer, but their attentions will now turn to the Supercoppa Italiana, where they will face Antonio Conte's Napoli in the semi-finals on December 18.""
