By Rohan Mehta / 12.04.2026

AC Milan suffered a significant setback in their Serie A campaign, losing 3-0 to Udinese at the iconic San Siro on April 11, 2026. This defeat marks AC Milan’s third loss in their last four matches, leaving them nine points behind league leaders Inter Milan.

Nicolò Zaniolo was instrumental for Udinese, contributing to two of the three goals scored. The match saw an own goal from AC Milan’s Davide Bartesaghi, which added to the team’s woes. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp found the net for Udinese in the 37th minute, followed by Arthur Atta scoring the third goal in the 71st minute, sealing a comprehensive victory for the visitors.

The defeat was met with jeers from the home crowd, who expressed their dissatisfaction as the team left the field. “The boos had already started by then and Milan was also roasted by its supporters at the break,” noted an observer of the match. This reaction underscores the growing frustration among fans regarding the team’s recent performances.

AC Milan’s current standing in the league is precarious, as they sit six points above Juventus and Roma, but their recent form has raised questions about their ability to secure a top-four finish. Coach Massimiliano Allegri faced criticism for his tactical decisions during the match, questioning choices such as playing Rafael Leao as a striker instead of utilizing Tomori, who has shown greater comfort in a back four setup. Allegri remarked, “Why Leao as the striker? Why no Tomori, who has proven to be way more comfortable in a back four?”

Prior to this match, AC Milan was in contention for the Serie A title, but the recent defeat against Napoli on Easter Monday had already brought their top-four race into question. “Milan desperately needed to win after the defeat against Napoli, which suddenly brought the top-four race back into question,” commented a sports analyst.

Despite a crucial save made by goalkeeper Mike Maignan in the first half, AC Milan’s defensive vulnerabilities were evident throughout the match. The team now faces a critical juncture in their season, with fans and analysts alike eager to see how they will respond in their upcoming fixtures.

As the season progresses, the pressure mounts on AC Milan to improve their performance and regain their footing in the league. The jeers from the San Siro crowd reflect a growing impatience, and observers will be closely watching how the team addresses these challenges in the coming weeks.
