AC MILAN v SPEZIA: THE SOCIAL CORNER

Winning like this makes you suffer but then you go crazy. And the next day is even better. When all hope of winning seemed lost, Olivier Giroud got the job done. At San Siro, AC Milan 2-1 Spezia. These are the Rossoneri's social media reactions to remember an evening of passion.

This time he did not turn, even though the chant that accompanies every one of his goals - even yesterday - is always the same. This time he did even better: he rose up and scored a wonderful goal on the volley. Perhaps the most beautiful in Rossoneri, certainly one of the most important. Three points. Very important, as Oli himself called them.

Blessed Theo. He uses the emoji of prayer, as he did in his celebration after scoring the opening goal. He hadn't scored since AC Milan v Udinese, his first game in this Serie A, and he chose a good moment to do it again. And the AC Milan fans thank him.

Adrenalin. One word to describe a match of a thousand emotions, put by Sandro. Having come on in the second half, a sublime goal was cancelled out but he delivered an inch-perfect assist for the second goal. Carrying like usual, decisive performance.

The joy and the anger of Fik. A real test of focus and persistence. Despite the conceded goal, the defence continued to give nothing and the Englishman fought as always.

Staying alive. Rafa perfectly captures the meaning of such a win. Almost at the end, under pressure, at a very delicate moment, at a crossroads weekend in the championship.

Applause. Pierre was once again immense in presence, attitude, condition and contributions. It was from one of his defensive recoveries that the move leading to the winner was born. The 22-year-old underlined the San Siro factor, again yesterday filled with 70,099 frenzied spectators.

Mentality. Not much else to add to Isma's caption. After Turin, victory (and qualification) in the Champions League and victory in Serie A. But the calendar runs very fast before the break: on Tuesday it will already be time for Cremonese away.

Brahim is hot, double flame emoji's to heat up the atmosphere. Against Spezia he did not find the spark, although he provided the team with unpredictability, speed and technique.

Junior's excitement for the result, the awareness of having won thanks to the determination of a strong group with 'incredible character', as Coach Pioli put it. For the Brazilian, it was the third consecutive appearance as a starter.
