AC Milan's turbulent season took another painful turn as Atalanta delivered a stunning 3-2 victory at the Stadio San Siro on Sunday, extending the Rossoneri's winless streak in Serie A to three matches and dealing a significant blow to their Champions League aspirations.

Massimiliano Allegri's side entered the contest hoping to rebound from last weekend's 2-0 defeat at Sassuolo, but those hopes were quickly dashed. Atalanta struck first blood in just the seventh minute, with Ederson slotting home a clinical finish from the edge of the box to put the visitors ahead. The nightmare continued for Milan when Davide Zappacosta doubled Atalanta's lead midway through the first half, and Giacomo Raspadori made it 3-0 early in the second half, leaving the San Siro crowd stunned.

Just when it seemed Milan would suffer another heavy defeat, late goals from Strahinja Pavlovic and Christopher Nkunku brought some respectability to the scoreline. However, these consolation strikes offered little solace to the Rossoneri faithful, as Milan now find themselves level on points with fifth-placed Roma with only two games remaining in the season. The prospect of missing out on Champions League qualification looms large—a devastating outcome for a club of Milan's stature.

Here's how the Rossoneri players rated in this crucial encounter:

Mike Maignan (4/10) – While his defenders certainly didn't cover themselves in glory, the French goalkeeper conceded three times from just five Atalanta shots on target. Not his finest afternoon between the posts.

Strahinja Pavlovic (7/10) – A standout performer who handled Charles De Ketelaere admirably throughout. His trademark header got Milan on the scoresheet, but unfortunately, it arrived too late to spark any meaningful comeback.

Matteo Gabbia (5/10) – Far from his best showing this season. The Italian center-back struggled to track Atalanta's fluid movement in the final third and looked particularly vulnerable whenever the visitors attacked with pace through the middle.

Koni De Winter (5/10) – Handed a rare start in the absence of Fikayo Tomori, the former Genoa defender failed to seize his opportunity. Allegri might have been better served making an earlier substitution.

Alexis Saelemaekers (4/10) – A night to forget for the Belgian winger, who offered little in attack and was often caught out defensively. His performance summed up Milan's disjointed display.
