Gallery: ‘De Rossi schools Pioli’, ‘Milan in the dark’ – Today’s front pages in Italy

AC Milan’s seven-game winning run was snapped last night as they lost 1-0 in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final clash with Roma.

The only goal of the game came early on in the first half as Gianluca Mancini was given the freedom of the 18-yard box to head home a corner having lost his marker. Olivier Giroud hit the bar late on, but Milan now have it all to do next week.

Below are how the Italian papers have reacted to the result…

La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Roma sing. It’s 1-0 at San Siro for the Giallorossi. Milan in the dark and now they’re in trouble. Mancini decides, De Rossi wins the first round. Leao disappointing, on Thursday they need a coup at the Olimpico.”

Corriere dello Sport: “Magical. Roma win 1-0 at San Siro, Atalanta conquer Liverpool 0-3. Mancini immense: goal against Milan too. De Rossi schools Pioli. Giallorossi dominate. Giroud hits the crossbar.”

Tuttosport: “Europa League: Roma conquer San Siro (0-1). Mancini strikes, Milan hit the crossbar and want a penalty.”
