AC Milan caught the last train to the Champions League spot, as Rossonerri managed to defeat woeful Lazio at San Siro 2-0 but lost Rafael Leao in the process. The Portuguese forward had to come off after just 11 minutes, and so far, nobody knows the extent of his injury. Other players stepped up as Benaccer scored the first and Hernandez the second for a comfortable win and fourth place in Serie A. But Round 34 has just begun, and Inter, Roma and Atalanta can all catch up with a win.0 – Lazio have not fired a single shot on target in a Serie A match for the first time since October 2020 (against Sampdoria).

They are also risking being overtaken by Juventus in second place. Allegri’s men face a tough game in Bergamo against Atalanta, but if they come out victorious, they will be second.The Best LB of the World right now 🔴⚫️🔥🔥🌯👊🏼 @TheoHernandez pic.twitter.com/yzXNC096BY— bm_2k (@bmoya1985) May 6, 2023 The game started badly for the home team, as their best player this season, Rafael Leao got injured after just 11 minutes, and the fans were left with doubt will he be ready for the important matches ahead, especially the semi-final of the Champions League against arch-rivals Inter. Soon after, Milan took the lead. Giroud put pressure on Lazio’s defenders in the penalty area, which forced Anderson to lose the ball, and the Frenchman assisted Ismael Bennacer, who scored from a close distance. Twelve minutes later, it was 2-0, and this one was a real beauty. Theo Hernandes took the ball just outside his own penalty area, and nobody tried to stop him until he came close to Lazio’s penalty area. From there, he released a thunderbolt into the top left corner to double the lead. It was just the 30th minute of the match then, and most fans at the stadium probably thought it was just the beginning, but in reality, it was the end of the game. Nothing serious happened in the next hour of the match as Milan totally shut down Lazio, and the visitors haven’t been able to make a single shot on target for 90 minutes.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 34SaturdayMilan – Lazio 2-0 (2-0)/Bennacer 11, Hernandez 29/19.00: (3.10) Roma (3.30) Inter (2.55)21.45: (2.50) Cremonese (3.40) Spezia (3.10)Sunday 13.30: (2.55) Atalanta (3.40) Juventus (3.00)16.00: (2.14) Torino (3.35) Monza (4.00)19.00: (1.94) Napoli (3.50) Fiorentina (4.10)21.45: (2.35) Lecce (3.20) Verona (3.60)Monday 19.30: (1.58) Udinese (4.00) Sampdoria (6.25)19.30: (2.35) Empoli (3.40) Salernitana (3.35)21.45: (2.50) Sassuolo (3.50) Bologna (3.05)***odds are subject to change***
