AC Milan are up against Atalanta this evening and after the win against Udinese, they will be looking to build even more confidence ahead of the Inter clash. Join us for the live commentary from San Siro.
The 4-0 trashing against Udinese certainly restored some hope for Milan, especially in view of the Coppa Italia decider against Inter, but another tough clash awaits them. Indeed, Atalanta are looking to cement their spot in the top four and will thus be no walk in the park.
Sergio Conceicao has decided to confirm the starting eleven we saw against Udinese, as expected, and it remains to be seen if the outcome can be similar. Of course, a big win is a little bit too much to ask but claiming all three points must be the goal.
Unfortunately, won’t have a watchalong for this game but we will be back mid-week, as Milan will look to seal their spot in the Coppa Italia final. In the meantime, you can join us for the live commentary below, as published on our X account.

Can they stop whistling…
Lol, Leao. He should watch Assane Diao to learn a thing or two.
And Bellanova, another stupid loss of an academy asset by Milan.
80% possession to Atalanta at San siro.. ridiculous
Keep possession has been difficult since Conceiceo took charge of this team.
And it’s going to be worse when you defend with 5. Same thing was happening when Pioli tried his 5 man back line experiment. The extra man at the back means more defensive solidity, but fewer offensive outlets in the middle, and thus so may kick and run plays to Leao. We need to accommodate two wingers, vs Atalanta which doesn’t, and instead employs two AMs behind the striker. Nevertheless, we’ve been the more dangerous team.
Jovic is playing great, nice lay offs andfirst touch, solid play with the back to the goal, we should invest in him
Ah yes, Fofana with a shot.
They should fine Fofana whenever he trying to shoot geezz, this guy never on target afaik smh.
Again Mr. Defensive Liability
They played well in the first 10 minutes of the second half, but what kind of things does Fofana always do? He always shoots 20 meters over, and almost all of his passes are bad.
If we’re not going to win, we should start seeing some of our best players come off soon. Our best chance for silverware and European qualification is coming up on Wednesday. Let’s see if Conceicao is smart enough to figure this out.
They should kept the low block, and now Milan is down 1 goal
We can have Maldini and Nesta at the back, and Sheva and Van Basten up front but even our legends would struggle with this midfield.
You’re right bro..Awful set of midfielder
We need a goal and, do we keep 2 strikers on? The only tactic that has worked for us???????? No of course not… we bring off Jovic and bring on the traffic cone named Felix. New manager can’t get here fast enough
Leao off. Conceicao partially figures out that a draw doesn’t do anything for us here, and that the bigger game is on Wednesday. Unfortunately, he failed to take off one of our gassed central midfielders.
I’ve switched off. That’s it, I’m done for the season. Couldn’t give a f**k about the tin cup. This shower of players and this manager have had enough of my energy.
Ten hag is free, ancelotti can soon return to his home san siro! Farioli can bring Italian football back to milan!
