It’s Coppa Italia time! AC Milan are up against Roma in the quarter-finals at San Siro and a win would send them through to the semis. You can follow the action with our live commentary as always.
Following the derby boost at the weekend, despite the late equaliser, Sergio Conceiao will be looking to build on the momentum from that game and also the transfer window. Several reinforcements have been made and now it’s up to the manager to make this work.
None of the signings are starting tonight, it should be noted, but some of them are on the bench for the Rossoneri. In the event of a win, Milan will face either Inter or Lazio in the semis, but that will be decided three weeks from now.
You can follow the action from San Siro with our live commentary, as published on X. Lorenzo and Stefano will be back with the watchalongs soon, hopefully at the weekend as Milan will take on Empoli.

wow, look what happens when a striker gets service.
Forza Milan!
Finally to see useless Saladmakers and once for all stop thinking of him returning…
Oh boy, Forza Milan, Abraham 1×0!
Everyone looks good so far, except Theo, for now
For the whole season he is missing something. He’s to afraid now to run past his marker as he’s lacking the acceleration he used to have. He should regain his fitness or better be sold.
Two assist for one half is great job but doesn’t effect the pain point.
Another pass to Tammy and …
I hope Gimenez is getting this sort of service too!
Tomorri and Pav look great individually, but our team defense is really disorganized. Roma is getting too many attempts at Mike
Jimenez had a part in that second goal too! Game isn’t over yet, keep fighting on!
I would try him as LB and rest Theo…
Also with 2:0, we can test Gimenez in 4-4-2, Chukwueze and Sottil also maybe with Felix in final 20-25 minutes…
I meant Gimenez. my brain is fuzzing out. I’m going to get those two confused. LOL I’ll just say Gimenez with the G.
Just call him Santi or Alex..
Theo wit double assist come onnnn!
Tomori Rebirth! No a bad ideal starting Jeminez
I’d like to see Fofana and/or Reinjders get a rest at the half.
What kind of throw-in was that from Theo to Pavlo???
Gimenez and Jimenez on the field at the same time… lol… I’m gonna be mixing those two up. 3-1 up. Should have done better preventing that one goal, but Joao Felix has scored on his debut! Now I’ll hope Jimenez with the J scores.
LOL I Did it again. I meant Santi. I’ll just call him Santi. I hope he scores lol.
im actually enjoying an ac milan match. how crazy is that… I am super excited about what this group can do and i really hope we make a turn around. Let us believe everyone!
Why does this coach want to run reignders to the ground? He has no business still being in this match.
