Player Ratings: AC Milan 3-3 Salernitana – Giroud fairytale amid farewell galore | OneFootball

AC Milan failed to give Stefano Pioli and co a win in their final game with the club as Salernitana held them to a draw at San Siro. Several players did well, though, and below are the ratings for the Rossoneri.

If you haven’t already, make sure to check out how we decide the player ratings. From the scale to what affects the rating, we have compiled everything there.

Starting XI

Mirante (6): He definitely could have done better on the first goal, seeing as Simy was so close to the goal, but he made a good stop shortly after. He couldn’t do much on the second and he wasn’t on the pitch for the third. While it wasn’t a great performance, he gets a pass here as it’s the last game of his career.

Calabria (6.5): The captain did okay defensively, most of the time anyway, and he always wanted to get involved when going forward. That ended up paying off as he scored with a nice header in the second half.

Gabbia (6): An average display from the academy product, defensively speaking anyway. He nearly got a great goal with a header but the goalkeeper somehow kept it out.

Tomori (6): Similarly to his colleague, we have certainly seen better but it was still a decent performance. The goals conceded were more so due to collective errors rather than individual ones.

Hernandez (6.5): We saw some very good trademark runs for the Frenchman and he was unlucky not to get a goal, disallowed for a very narrow offside after VAR check (Chukwueze-esque). In good form, he’s crucial for the Rossoneri.

Florenzi (6.5): A different role for him today which he handled very nicely, assisting Giroud for his goal with a great corner kick. The veteran continued to have great delivery on his set pieces and also tried to get on the ball as much as possible.

Reijnders (6): The Dutchman had a couple of nice runs in the attacking third and it could have paid off, but ultimately it was just a decent display from the midfielder.

Pulisic (7): He was really involved in a lot for Milan this evening and created several good chances. He eventually got an assist with a great cross for Calabria. A productive performance like this one is exactly what we like to see.

Bennacer (6): As always, he covered a lot of ground and was comfortable on the ball. He could have been a bit more polished in the final third, though, but it was a decent display overall by the Algerian.

Leao (7): Just like his opposite man, he was involved in almost everything and although his goal was lucky, he was unlucky not to get an assist. He will remain the star for next season and it will be very interesting to see him under a new manager.

Giroud (7.5 – MOTM): The perfect goodbye for the striker who broke the No.9 curse at Milan, finding the back of the net with a lovely finish. He continued to create problems for the Salernitana defence and he will certainly be missed, as well as hard to replace.

Substitutes

Adli (5.5): A bit too sloppy on the ball, really from his first involvement, and it was a sub that didn’t exactly help defensively.

Caldara (5.5): He didn’t look convincing at all, which certainly isn’t surprising given that he hasn’t played at all this season. He could have done a lot better on the second goal at least.

Kjaer (N/A): We didn’t see enough to give him a rating. Thank you for everything, Simon!

Jovic (N/A): We didn’t see enough to give him a rating.

Nava (N/A): We didn’t see enough to give him a rating.

The manager

Pioli (6): A strange final game and result for the manager, even if it was perhaps fitting given how the season has played out. The subs were pretty much decided beforehand and Milan dominated up until that point, while tactics clearly take second place on a night like this.
