A crazy ride, never stopping.
Left-back Theo Hernandez scored a legendary goal on Sunday night in AC Milan's 2-0 victory against Atalanta Bergamo in Serie A. We play in the 75th minute, and the Milanese are already leading 1 -0 after a goal from Rafael Leao shortly before the hour mark. The 24-year-old Frenchman recovers the ball at the entrance to his area, after a tackle from his partner Rade Krunic.
And file, ball at the feet, towards the opposing goal.
Launched, the player resists the charge of an Atalanta player, then erases two others at the entrance to the opposing area.
The defender concludes his action by deceiving the opposing goalkeeper, Juan Musso, with a left shot.
Unleashing the San Siro stadium with this exceptional achievement for the break of the Rossoneri, leaders of the Italian championship.
A crazy moment, celebrated with a big smile from the Milan bench by his compatriot Olivier Giroud as well as by Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Theo Hernandez, dad a month ago, was also celebrated in the AC Milan locker room by his goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
“Even Messi never did that,” wrote the former Losc goalkeeper on Instagram, who arrived in Italy this summer.
With this victory, the Lombard club are approaching a 19th national title, their first since 2011. Hernandez and his partners only need a draw on Sunday on the lawn of Sassuolo to win Serie A. Only the Inter Milan, the great rival, winner of the Italian Cup on May 11 (4-2 against Juventus) and defending champion, can still prevent him from being crowned.
