Milan’s hopes of securing a Scudetto were swiftly dashed on March 15, 2026, following a 1-0 defeat to Lazio. The Football Gazette Express reported the outcome at 22:48, marking the end of Milan’s championship dreams. Gustav Isaksen’s decisive goal proved to be the difference, silencing any lingering optimism within the Milan camp.
Rafael Leao’s frustrated reaction to his substitution further highlighted the team’s disappointment. The victory in the “Derby della Madonnina” compounded Milan’s challenges, particularly after Inter’s draw against Atalanta. Ardon Jashari featured in midfield due to several player absences, while Lazio benefited from the enthusiastic return of supporters at the “Stadio Olimpico.” The match presented numerous scoring opportunities for both teams, yet Isaksen expertly converted a long ball from Adam Marusic in the first half, beating Mike Maignan and putting Lazio ahead.
Despite a determined effort in the second half, Milan struggled to equalize, failing to capitalize on their several chances and shots on goal. Ultimately, Isaksen’s goal extinguished Milan’s Scudetto dreams, leaving the team with a significant gap to close in the title race.
