AC Milan were defeated in a cagey affair against Lazio on Thursday evening, with Massimiliano Allegri losing the 'chess game' against Maurizio Sarri. Like many other games before this season, the Rossoneri lacked in a lot of spects in the first half of the game. Or rather, you could definitely say that the two teams cancelled each other out, as Lazio didn't exactly create much either.

Youssouf Fofana has been a mainstay for AC Milan this season, but he will miss the Coppa Italia game tomorrow night with an injury. There has been a lot said about Fofana this season and his performances. However, he has been one of Massimiliano Allegri's most-used players, and the Italian has a lot of trust in the Frenchman, regardless of what others may think.

It would be fair to say that the Lazio ultras are out for revenge in the Coppa Italia against AC Milan, after Saturday's league defeat. The Serie A match at San Siro was full of controversy, mainly at the end of the game when Lazio believed that they should have had a penalty for a handball against Strahinja Pavlovic. The On-Field Review actually produced a free-kick in favour of Milan, with experts agreeing it wasn't a spot kick.

"I'm a bit swollen in my face, I had blood all over my shirt but it was such an incredible night," the 25-year-old told BBC Scotland.
