The Rossoneri beat Juventus at Allianz Stadium for the first time in their history. Brahim Diaz's goal gave Diavoli the lead, just before the whistle went down drinking. Ante Rebic doubled Milan's lead in the 78th minute, and Fikayo Tomori made it three with eight minutes remaining.

Capello admitted to being unimpressed with the performances of both teams.

"Juventus is embarrassing. They didn't like playing ball in the first half. They have no idea, like in Udine last week", Don Fabio reported from Sky Sport Italia.

"Milan took advantage, but without doing anything special. They have no aggressiveness.

"They both missed too many passes in the first half. I saw so much that I asked myself if they were good enough to play in Super League".

Milan has withdrawn from the Champions League competition. Juventus are still involved with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The defeat moved Juve into fifth place in Italy's elite league standings, with only three games remaining this season.

The Old Lady is one point below Fourth-placed Napoli. Cristiano Ronaldo et al are now hoping their top four opponents lose points to give them a chance of getting into the Champions League zone.
