"AC Milan were left with a very familiar feeling after last night's draw against Genoa. Once again, they have stumbled against a side much below them in the rankings. It seems growingly obvious that this Milan team has a kryptonite, and it is teams below them in the league, within reason. The promoted sides each ended their games with the Rossoneri with a result, but the theme has extended to the bottom-half teams generally."
"Of course, they could have ended the game without points after the last-minute penalty incident, but a bit of fortune meant they evaded a second loss of the season. Their run of unbeaten games, as a result, now stands at 17 games, which is a first since 2004. However, there is 'little to celebrate', due to the continued missteps against the 'smaller' teams in the division."
AC Milan drew with Genoa, continuing a pattern of dropping points against lower-ranked teams. The team has repeatedly stumbled against promoted sides and bottom-half opponents, revealing a recurring vulnerability. Recent wins over Hellas and Cagliari offered slight comfort, but the San Siro draw exposed persistent problems. A last-minute penalty incident nearly cost points, but fortune prevented a second loss. The Rossoneri's unbeaten run reaches 17 matches, a first since 2004, yet missteps against smaller teams keep celebrations muted. The squad now sits three points off the top, seemingly engaged in a crowded Champions League battle rather than a clear title chase.
