AC Milan Draws with Genoa in Anniversary Match

AC Milan's 125th anniversary celebrations were marred by a disappointing goalless draw against Genoa at the San Siro, leaving the team in eighth place in Serie A, eight points off the Champions League positions. Despite dominating possession and creating chances, including a near miss from Alvaro Morata who hit the crossbar, Milan failed to convert their opportunities into goals. Fans expressed their frustration towards the team's performance and the US ownership, chanting against the management during the match. The draw also saw Fiorentina lose ground in the title race after a defeat to Bologna, compounding the disappointment for Milan and their supporters. The match featured a pre-game ceremony celebrating Milan's storied history, which contrasted sharply with the team's current struggles on the pitch. Coach Paulo Fonseca's dissatisfaction with his players' attitude has led to consideration of fielding younger academy players in future matches.
