Last minute Milan is winter champion, and fans are completely freaked out

Injury time is running out when AC Milan take another corner kick. It is 2-2 after a mixed match between the Rossoneri and Lazio in Rome. But now this corner: Hakan Calhanoglu, who rises above everything with a goal and an assist, steps forward and circles the ball in front of the Lazio goal, where Theo Hernández rises and heads to 3-2.

Another last minute hit! For the fifth time this season, Milan celebrated a late goal and points that were believed to be lost. Coach Stefano Pioli’s team has won a total of seven points and thus has secured the undefeated title of the winter championship.

With 34 points, the “rossoneri” salute from the top of the table at the turn of the year. Inter, the city’s rival, is one point behind, while Juventus, the series champion, is already seven points behind. No wonder there is joy after the game. Milan’s players enthusiastically celebrated the achievement of the first intermediate goal en route to the first Scudetto since 2011 on the field. “We have had to suffer so many times at Christmas in recent years, so we will enjoy it even more,” Alessio Romagnoli said after the match.

In fact, a year ago, hardly anyone would have believed that Milan could soon return to the top. Back then, at the beginning of the year, he was ranked eleventh, with half the points of winter champion Inter. But some moves by new coach Stefano Pioli and some transfers in January, including that of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, made the astonishing giant again a top team with a lot of self-confidence.

Of course, fans are really excited right now as well. The Tifosi celebrated the “Scudetto d’inverno” with a gigantic pyrotechnic grid. When the Milan team bus left San Siro, it sank in a sea of ​​red torches. It’s hard to imagine what would happen if Milan really did win its first championship title in ten years next spring. (pre)
