AC Milan’s win against Empoli was a big statement to the rest of the league as despite conceding a 92nd-minute equaliser, and with several injuries, they didn’t give up. Something Arrigo Sacchi was very happy with.
Many fans perhaps thought it was over when Bajrami converted an injury-time free-kick for the home side. However, in the following attack, Milan found the back of the net again through Ballo-Toure. Then, Leao added to the party.
In short, it was a strong signal to the rest of the league as Milan refuse to give up even in the most difficult of times. Speaking after the game, as cited by MilanNews, legendary Rossoneri manager Arrigo Sacchi shared his thoughts on the win.
“There and then, I saw the anger and determination of those who want to win at all costs. These qualities must always be brought into play. And from the very beginning. However, for Milan, it’s a very important victory. Along with Napoli, they are the team that plays the most entertaining football,” he stated.
Milan will now travel to London where they will face Chelsea in the Champions League. It’s a huge game for the Rossoneri but it’s possible that the main focus will be on the home clash, as at least Theo Hernandez should be back by then.
