Milan secured their fourth consecutive Champions League win of the season, but the way it was done is unlikely to please Rossoneri fans. In the home match against Crvena Zvezda, Paulo Fonseca's team played a confident first half, but failed in the second and snatched three points only thanks to a late goal.

In addition to the mixed performance, the hosts also lost two players to injuries. Loftus-Cheek and Alvaro Morata left the pitch before half-time, while substitute Tammy Abraham became the hero of the match for Milan.
