AC Milan's Europa League campaign took another hit with a 2-0 home defeat to Ferencvaros. Despite starting Christian Pulisic on the bench, the Rossoneri struggled throughout, conceding two second-half goals to Lenny Joseph. The loss leaves Milan with just three points from four matches, slipping outside the top 24. Stand-in goalkeeper Lorenzo Torriani made several saves but couldn't prevent the breakthrough in the 52nd minute. Ferencvaros, who finished with 10 men after a red card for Bamidele Yusuf, now sit perfect in the league phase. Milan showed glimpses of promise through Gonçalo Ramos and Omari Hutchinson but failed to convert chances.
The defeat follows a recent Serie A win over Inter Milan, highlighting Milan's inconsistent European form. With captain Mike Maignan suspended and backup Pietro Terracciano injured, Torriani faced a tough test. Ferencvaros capitalized on defensive errors, with Joseph scoring twice after quick transitions. Milan now face a crucial path to advance, needing significant improvements in both defense and attack.
