AC Milan are taking on Udinese this evening and after the defeat against Fiorentina, a response is needed from the Rossoneri. Join us for the watchalong with Lorenzo and Stefano, as well as our live commentary.
Paulo Fonseca needs his side to bounce back with a strong performance, or at the very least three points, but it won’t be an easy task against Udinese. As we highlighted in our preview for the game, the record hasn’t exactly been brilliant against the Friuli side.
Several changes have been made to the starting XI, with both Samuel Chukwueze and Noah Okafor included from the first minute. In other words, it could be an interesting one and it remains to be seen if Milan will win.
You can follow the action live with our watchalong, hosted by Lorenzo and Stefano, as well as the live commentary on X below.

The ref needs to be fired from the job. Tiji was set-up. The n8 tried hitting Tiji and there was no contact since they weren’t close enough, so as soon as some distance was dropped he flew away on his own. very bad and unprofessional call by the ref and VAR team…
Still can’t believe that Var didn’t overrule refs call. If we give red cards like this 90% of games will end 8 vs 7 players on the field.
agree that was never a red card that referee should never referee again and that player is such a crybaby referee is to soft nowadays
How can VAR confirm that as a red card, they werent even close to eachother…
That wasn’t even a booking. This ref will get suspended.
Well, in principle this whole ‘conspiracy theories’ thing doesn’t appeal to me at all… ok, referees are downright bad, they make mistakes all the time etc. etc. etc., but does that explain our pathetic, ridiculous disciplinary record in recent times? Yes, because it’s become routine, every fvckin’ game a fvckin’ Milan player gets a red card, it’s really fvckin’ amazing…
Any amount of points would be a major accomplishment considering the refs clear incompetence
One positive how well have Thiaw and the enforcer done tonight compared Tomori and anyone next to him.
Is this the worst ref in Serie A?
He’s actually one of the better refs. Which is breaking my brain
I’m not watching the game, but I guess, judging by the sudden substitution, that we have another injury, this time with Abraham? Oh boy…
Drama started as soon as Tomori entered. The man is literally Harry Maguire
Great Team effort, I hope Leao realizes there’s no I in team
We started the game well.
Reijnders was unlucky there.
Abraham has bad luck aura around him.
I think Fonseca should have brought in Leao for Chukwueze instead of Tomori. There was no need to absorb so much pressure (which almost cost us the win, thanks to technicalities of VAR). Leao would have put the Udinese advancement into caution.
In all, it was a good win. Forza Milan
