AC Milan Cruise Past Livorno to Keep European Hopes Alive
AC Milan extended their winning streak to five matches with a commanding 3-0 victory over Livorno at San Siro on Saturday, as part of Matchday 34 in Serie A. The Rossoneri delivered a confident performance, continuing their late-season resurgence under head coach Clarence Seedorf.
Leading the charge were Mario Balotelli and Adel Taarabt, two of Milan’s standout performers in recent weeks. Balotelli opened the scoring with a powerful, perfectly timed header that left Livorno’s defence flat-footed. The goal showcased the Italian striker’s aerial prowess and further underlined his growing influence in Milan’s attack.
Shortly after, Moroccan international Adel Taarabt produced a moment of individual brilliance to double Milan’s advantage. With swift footwork and precision, Taarabt weaved through the Livorno backline before calmly slotting home, adding to his growing reputation since arriving at the club.
Veteran forward Giampaolo Pazzini rounded off the scoring, putting the result beyond doubt and capping off a comprehensive display from the home side.
The win sees Milan draw level on points with Parma, who suffered a 2-0 defeat to Inter Milan. With the race for European qualification intensifying, Seedorf’s men now find themselves firmly back in contention for a spot in next season’s Europa League.
After a turbulent start to the campaign, Milan’s recent turnaround has reignited belief among players and supporters alike. With momentum on their side and key players hitting form at the right time, the Rossoneri are looking to finish the season strongly and secure European football once again.
