Alarm in Milan: Rossoneri Lose Without Modrić, Champions League Berth Threatened

The Rossoneri suffered a significant setback in their quest for Champions League football next season, falling 2-0 to Sassuolo in a match marred by a crucial red card. Domenico Berardi opened the scoring for the hosts in the fifth minute, but the game's complexion shifted dramatically when Fikayo Tomori was sent off before halftime.

Tomori received two yellow cards, reducing AC Milan to 10 men and leaving them vulnerable. Sassuolo capitalized on their advantage, with Armand Lauriente sealing the victory in the 47th minute. This defeat leaves Milan in a precarious position, third in Serie A but with rivals like Juventus and Roma closing in.

The absence of Luka Modrić due to injury was also felt, though the focus remains on the team's inability to secure vital points. Meanwhile, in another Serie A fixture, Nikola Moro played the entire game for Bologna in their goalless draw against Cagliari. The results highlight the intense competition for European spots as the season nears its conclusion.
