It also set the biggest rate in European competition at home. AC Milan lost 3-0 to Lille in the Europa League. The Italian club has never lost by such a large margin in the European competition in San Siro. Through all these competitions, Milan saw the face of defeat after being undefeated for 24 consecutive matches.
Milan were moving forward in great form with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The 39-year-old Swede has already scored six goals in six matches. But Ibra could not pull the team tomorrow. He was picked up by Milan coach Stefan Pioli in the 62nd minute. Instead, Milan lost to Lynn's Turkish attacking midfielder Youssef Yazaki alone.
He scored a great hat-trick in 56 minutes to give Lille victory. The 23-year-old Yusuf became the first player in a major UEFA tournament to score two hat-tricks in a single season.
After scoring from the penalty spot in the 21st minute of the first half, he scored two more goals in the second half. Yusuf became the first player in all competitions in the last two decades to score a hat-trick in an away match against Milan. The last instance of this was Rivaldo in October 2000.
However, in the 19th minute, the first chance of Milan's goal was created by Hebrew. Theo Hernandez could not score even though he took a shot from his opportunity. Ibrahimovic also took two shots at Lille's goalposts. Needless to say, it didn't work.
Although Peoli surprised by picking up Ibrahimovic, Ante Rebic, who came on as his replacement, played well. One of his great efforts was blocked by Lille goalkeeper Mike Maiganan. The French club won two matches in a row for the first time in the Europa League. Milan last conceded 3 goals at home in the European Championship in 2011 against Barcelona (3-2).
This time, of course, Milan was in great form. They are at the top of the league table with 16 points in 6 matches. Milan last lost against Genoa last March. In other words, after 242 days, Milan saw the face of the rate.
The defeat is also a call for Milan to come down to reality. With this victory, Lille rose to the top of H group with 6 points in 3 matches. Match the two with 6 points in an equal match. In the other match, Arsenal lost to Molde 4-1. AS Roma defeated CFR Cluj 5-0. Tottenham beat Ludogorets 3-1.
