La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that AC Milan faces a growing physical endurance issue under Ruben Amorim despite a 3-2 victory over Atalanta. Milan secured a 3-0 lead via goals from Goncalo Ramos, Adrien Rabiot, and Mario Gila before Ramos missed a penalty. Atalanta responded with goals from Gianluca Gaetano and Nikola Krstovic, forcing goalkeeper Mike Maignan into late crucial saves to preserve the win.
