AC Milan face Cagliari on the final day of the Serie A season and they will need to beat Cagliari to confirm a place in the top four.
It could well be a case of results going in their favour, regardless of what happens at San Siro. However, the crowd and perhaps more Massimiliano Allegri will want Milan to end the season with a win. Though it may not be so easy.

Facing a Cagliari team that have secured safety, one would assume that their team may already be on the beach mentally. However, this will not be the case.
Cagliari want to cause upset
Instead, their manager has stated that they will play to potentially cause an upset, even if he admitted that his team may have thoughts about pre-season. After their win against Torino, Fabio Pisacane spoke to the media as MilanPress relays.
“We’re incredibly happy because we’ve achieved a very difficult goal, especially considering everything we’ve been through this year. What’s Pisacane’s prize in this relegation? Nothing, it’s all about everyone. It’s something shared between the team, the staff, the sporting director, and the club.
“The future? Happiness doesn’t last long; then we need to get back to work and look ahead. We’re safe but I’ll prepare for the match against Milan because we want to perform to our best, within our capabilities. The lads, on the other hand, will take a bit of a break; they deserve it. As for me, we’ll see.”
Playing for an upset and actually causing one is a completely different thing. The Rossoneri need to be awake to the threat, certainly.
what do you think he’ll say? “oh we are safe so we try at all!”
