AC Milan are taking on Juventus underneath the floodlights at San Siro this evening, hoping to clinch a much-needed win. Follow the action live with our watch along as well as live commentary.
Paulo Fonseca is certainly under some pressure to get things right this evening, following the 3-3 draw against Cagliari, and he has named a more defensive-minded XI than usual. Indeed, Yunus Musah is starting on the right flank, which was rather unexpected.
You can follow the action live with our watchalong on YouTube, hosted by Lorenzo and Stefano, or you can make use of our live commentary as it’s published on X. Both of these can be found below, and hopefully we will have a win to celebrate in the end!

Loftus -Cheek becoming Fonseca’s Lord Krunic. So exasperating.
Pioli used RLC constantly, Fonseca is benching him constantly, so really Fonseca is putting RLC in his best position (the bench) far more often.
Krunic was way better.
RLC’s strategy seems to be to plant himself in space with nobody around him and then disappear
Emerson cannot dribble past my grandmother
Is this football? So boring
They’re afraid to play football at home against Juventus B squad.
Why sacking Pioli to bring Fonseca ?
Emerson is far away to become indisputable starter in front of Calabria.
Ruben is lost like a player. Musah is more defensive oriented player.
Fonseca Out!
Boring
No game plan
RLC lost
Thiaw too slow
No flair
Leao and Fofana only trying
Musah, Rafa, Fofana, Thiaw doing well. The others not so much.
dance suspension almost over?
The most boring game. Milan without teeth. They are not playing to win they are playing not to lose.
put in chucky
Leao can’t do anything 1v1 against a kid. Unbelievable.
Bad, boring and unambitious! It will be good if we don’t concede a goal until the end.
What does Morata do? Just run around and kick people?
lol…under utilized in this system for sure…RLC or fofana should back defending not Morata
This is the exciting game mr Fonseca promised us. This is a big mistake Milan made in getting the service of this quack coach
I have been silent about Fonseca but certainly he does not seem the man for the job. It was obvious that Juve were going to sit and defend from the line up and yet Fonseca also played a Conservative game. I wonder why not use Chukwueze from the start or even Okafor on the right. I have to say the Brazilian right back is certainly not an upgrade to Calabria, Yildiz had a filled day lol!
Morata tries too hard most times with little result. Leao had little success as well, Theo still seems miles away from his best. At least Fofana was visible and did an ok job.
In conclusion, this is certainly a missed opportunity , I am not convince about Fonseca, we may have to struggle a lot to make top 4 if he remains coach .
