Musah had a challenging game, struggling with decision-making and losing his man on Cagliari's goal, resulting in a rating of 5. Chukwueze's involvement in the first goal ensured he received a pass with a rating of 6.

Giroud's performance was lackluster, failing to make an impact with poor flicks and hold-up play, leading to a rating of 5. Pulisic, making his mark on the right flank, impressed with contributions to both goals, securing a rating of 7.5.

Hernandez, off the bench, provided an assist but was rated at 6 due to Reijnders' primary contribution. Pobega did not receive a rating due to limited playing time, but his return was welcomed by the fans.

Manager Pioli received a rating of 6.5 for guiding the team to victory and allowing the stars to make an impact off the bench, instilling renewed confidence in the squad. However, some fans expressed their desire for a new defensive midfielder and a change in the team's formation.

Despite Giroud's recent struggles, many supporters still appreciate his contributions to the team but believe a reduced role on the bench would be more suitable. Musah received mixed reviews, with some calling for him to be utilized in a defensive role more frequently.

The fans were vocal in defending Rafa, expressing their frustration towards those who recently booed him. They praised his contributions with a goal, an assist, and a shot that hit the crossbar in just 45 minutes of play.

While the players generally received positive ratings, criticisms were directed at Pioli for his team selection in recent matches, particularly with regards to Giroud. Milan's fans believe that a dynamic striker, like Okafor, could have made a difference in the Europa League tie against Roma.

AC Milan's dominant performance and impressive individual displays have rejuvenated the team and set a positive tone for their upcoming matches.
