AC Milan Close In On Champions League Return With Torino Rout
AC Milan took a giant step towards qualification for next season’s Champions League with a 7-0 triumph at Torino on Wednesday night.
A second-half hat-trick from Ante Rebic rounded off another stunning display by the Rossoneri in front of goal after the comfortable victory over Juventus on Sunday.
Milan now have a three-point cushion over Juventus with two games remaining in the race for Champions League qualification.
With 19 minutes on the clock, Milan were ahead through a brilliant Theo Hernandez strike from the edge of the box, before Franck Kessie made no mistake from the penalty spot to double their lead seven minutes later.
Just as in Turin, the second half saw another goalscoring exhibition from Milan, as Brahim Diaz’s strike five minutes into the second half was followed by another Hernandez strike, before a ruthless treble from Ante Rebic capped off a massive win in the race for Champions League qualification.
Milan will head into the remaining matches at home to Cagliari and away to Atalanta full of confidence, as they aim to close in on securing their place at the top table of European football once more.
