AC Milan's kids seem to have a bright future, two of them just combined talent and forces to give the Rossoneri a crucial win against Juventus at San Siro.
The Old Lady lost the chance to clear off at the top and Milan managed to get just two points behind them, but it was a complicated victory which came thanks to a screamer from 18-year old Locatelli in the second half.
The first half saw how a goal was disallowed for Juventus, a free kick taken by Miralem Pjanic didn't count because of an off side position by Dani Alves. The second half saw Milan take the lead with a beautiful long-range goal to the top corner, but the real hero of the day was 17-year old Gianluigi Donnarumma.
He made a tremendous save after a long distance shot came to his left top corner and he managed to deflect it. His teammates celebrated with him as if it was a goal, it was the last play of the match.
This performance and several others in the past, have triggered some rumors of the youngster taking Buffon's place in Juventus, but the Old Lady's sporting director Giuseppe Marotta dismissed them talking to Mediaset Premium: "Donnarumma is a rising star and I think he can improve game by game.
Fortunately for Milan, he is their player. We have an extraordinary goalkeeper in Buffon, a professional who is writing new pages in football history. We'll hold on to him.
But Milan have a winning model and it's good to see so many young Italians in the line-up."
