AC Milan are taking on Genoa this evening, hoping to celebrate their 125th anniversary with a strong performance and a win. Follow the action with our watchalong, hosted by Stefano, as well as our live commentary.
Paulo Fonseca has decided to make some bold XI choices for this one, with youngsters Alex Jimenez and Mattia Liberali starting. For the latter, it will be the official debut with the first team and it remains to be seen how he will cope with that.
The Rossoneri celebrated their 125th anniversary with a ceremony ahead of the game, but adding three points as well is of the essence. You can follow the action with our watchalong, hosted by Stefano this time out, and our live commentary as published on X.

How is that not a penalty when Theo got given in against him for brushing the foot of a player
1. Ref sucks. Milan had at least one PK not called, if not more.
2. Chuk is doing poorly, missed a sitter and wasted other offensive actions.
3. Rafa is doing well, dangerous, energized.
4. Reijnders also doing well.
5. Liberali, mixed bag. Some good actions, some others that show he is young and inexperienced.
6. Jimenez, frankly, is playing better than Theo had been playing.
7. Emerson not bad, tonight,
8. Generally, the team is moving well, playing well, and deserves to be leading; unfortunately due to the ref and to some unlucky bounces, plus some missed opportunities, we’re not leading yet.
Eveeeeeery time we are complaining about the ref ffs. Small team mentality. It was a 50/50 moment. Get over it and move on
If we are relying on penalty against Genoa, let’s go to Serie B rather
The fact that we should be leading regardless of the ref doesn’t mean we can’t talk about mistakes made by the ref.
I don’t single out the refs when they don’t make mistakes.
There was a clear PK on Rafa when he was pushed and shoved into the ground. There is nothing 50/50 about it. It was a PK, period, full stop.
By the way, the foul by Miretti on Liberali inside the box was also a PK, which Italian journalists are confirming.
That’s 2 PKs not called for us.
“Moviola: Non bene Guida; manca un rigore netto.”
Embarrassing cry
You’re ridiculous. What team do you actually support? AC MIlan, it isn’t, because if you can’t see when a ref doesn’t call a legitimate PK for us, you’re not a real fan.
So, go away, troll.
Lol, you were probably not even born when I started supporting AC Milan. I am just not the same as you who cries for penalties against teams like fooking Genoa
More of a penalty than the one Liberali was meant to have committed
Chuk is a really selfish player.
Decent debut by Liberali. Some signs of expected naivety but some good stuff too, a great pass in the first half and should have won a penalty.
I actually continue to mostly like what I see. The team is not playing badly. However, a chronic problem, finishing has been poor.
Morata had a golden opportunity and instead of shooting, he passed. Bad decision.
We SHOULD be leading but we’re sloppy in finishing.
And I miss the time when Pulisic was healthy and playing right wing which is his best position. We probably would be leading if we had Puli there instead of Chuk.
It’s the same story for years, have a lot of possession but not do anything clinical. We lack intensity, Fofana is the only one who seems to have it….
And another sitter missed by Morata 🙄
Now what can you say bout Okafor coming on for chuks
Couldn’t finish his f@cking dinner……..
Signature move from Morata.
Misses a tap in and cries to the referee for a Bluetooth fault
Morata has always been a crier and not a fighter… wish Pato was wearing the 7 Jersey this night
I am very impressed with Jimenez….
Very fast, slick with his dribbles, provides good crosses. Few more games and he will gain more experience and confidence.
It’s hard to say but he reminds me of Di Marco from parasite Inter
Utter sh!te this performance
Wonderful game for our anniversary 😂
The sooner we fire this clueless ‘coach’ and replace him with someone competent, the better our chances of salvaging the season are. Please, finally show some guts and ambition and let him go!
Unambitious board cannot and will not sign ambitious coach. This is the rule of football and our life in general. I don’t want to be a smartazz, just saying what is on my mind
They failed to score in the greatest kits in front of the greatest players, against a poor opponent.
SAD
We are disaster.Morata cant play at this club. Everything is bad. This club is lost this season.
This is the final confirmation we need… Milan isn’t playing in Europe next season; not even in the conference League. If we can’t beat Genoa in San Siro, then the team is as useless as they come. Sadly, and very annoyingly, Ibra will come to the mics and day something stupid along the lines of “we trust the coach”. This is nothing but self inflicted implosion. Hard to believe we won the Scudetto just 3 seasons ago…😔
Okafor is the most useless plater on the field tonight.
I can categorically said Fonseca was right bout the team lack of mentality and grit.
Jimenez was the best player on the field tonight. And I think Fonseca could have brought in Thoe and push jimenez to the right wing when he sub Chukwueze.
Secondly Fonseca should have pair one of Zeroli or Vos with Fofana and push Tijani to play behind the striker.
For me Emerson has always been nothing to right home about. He doesn’t even know how to move his feet….
A win to celebrate the 125th Anniversary would have been so beautiful
But the team without soul even seeing all the past legends that gave glorious to our beloved Milan..
Looking at Pato in the stand and seeing the number 7 on Morata with those missed scoring chances. Put a whole lot of smiles to my face and only wish Pato could wear the 7 Jersey one more time tonight.
ForzaMilan🔴⚫
I hope after this game all the legends can sit around the table with the management and discuss the issues and solutions to this Milan.
I can’t see a single drop of great Rossoneri blood in any of the senior players
Is not Fonseca fault the issues is that Acmilan fans should have patience the team will blend is a matter of time Acmilan is on point ok imagine Juventus draw with Venezia and we drew against Genoa. Acmilan should focus on pressing with the ball before we knew Acmilan will start doing better at least liberali did superb with Jimenez now we also need Chaka Traore too.
