Gallery: ‘Theo, what did you do?’, ‘Milan disaster’ – Today’s front pages in Italy | OneFootball

AC Milan were dumped out of the Champions League at the play-off stage last night as they drew with Feyenoord, and the inquest from the Italian media has begun.

Milan could not have started the game better than they did, with Santiago Gimenez on hand to level the tie with a finish from close range after Malick Thiaw’s header back across goal, netting against his former club.

Then, disaster struck in the second half when Theo Hernandez was shown red for two very silly yellow cards. That gave Feyenoord belief, with Julian Carranza coming off the bench to equalise on the night and send the Dutch side through.

Rather unsurprisingly, the Italian media have focused on the red card and the impact that had on the game for Milan, one they otherwise stood a good chance of winning.

La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Theo madness. Milan disaster. They take the lead with Gimenez against Feyenoord, but Hernandez ruins everything. Sent off, the club are fed up. Conceiçao: ‘If I make mistakes, I’ll pack my suitcases’.”

Corriere dello Sport: “To hell. Milan disaster, goodbye Champions League. Feyenoord, fourth in the Netherlands, sent Conceiçao at home (1-1). Gimenez, who scored after 36 seconds, not enough. Theo sent off on 51 minutes. Carranza equaliser. Ibrahimovic: ‘We killed ourselves’.”

Tuttosport: “Theo, what did you do? Milan down to 10 men, goodbye Europe. Two yellow cards to Theo, the second one for diving, boosts the Dutch side who equalise. San Siro boos. Ibra: ‘We killed ourselves’.”

QS: “Milan expelled from Europe. Champions League: Theo red, Feyenoord eliminate the Diavolo.”
