On Wednesday, February 12, the first playoff round of the Champions League took place, where the Mexican Santiago Giménez faced his former team, Feyenoord, suffering a painful defeat since his arrival at Milan. Although Giménez had performed well in previous matches with the Italian team, he was unable to score or assist as he usually does this time.
In the match, Feyenoord took the lead with a goal from Igor Paixão in the 3rd minute, due to an error in receiving the ball by goalkeeper Mike Maignan. Despite Milan's attempts to recover and Santiago Giménez having opportunities to score, the final result was 1-0 in favor of Feyenoord.
After this defeat, the Milan team led by Santiago Giménez will play against Hellas Verona in Serie A, seeking to improve their position in the standings. Subsequently, they will face Feyenoord in the return leg of the Champions League playoffs, aiming to overturn the score and advance to the next round of the competition. Milan continues to fight to stay at the top on both fronts.
