AC Milan are looking to clinch what would be a very important win away at Empoli today. Joao Felix is making his first start for the team and you can follow the action with our live commentary below.
Milan need to build on the recent positivity, stemming from the derby draw, January signings and win against Roma mid-week. A win is the only option tonight, therefore, and having never lost a game away at Empoli, the pressure is certainly on.
Unfortunately, there will be no watchalong with Lorenzo and Stefano today, but they will be back in action soon. In the meantime, you can follow the game with our live commentary as published on X. Hopefully, we will have an important win to celebrate tonight.

Not a fan of the lineup. Reijnders should be rested along with Pulisic. Huuuuuge game Wednesday. They need rest.
It is a mystery to me how Sarge accepts us playing at three quarters speed at the beginning of the game.
I don’t understand y dis coach is using dis kind of line up very slow pace and predictable movement
Woodwork again. Our defense is shakey.
Sluggish display in this half that is not worthy of this squad
I still beleive milan will be better with a 4-2-3-1 formation ,it will accommodate Gimenez ,leao ,Felix ,pulisic same time
Insipid first half.
Yellow for Tomorri on a really unnecessary foul. Individually both he and Pav are not looking great today unlike in the Copa.
Another wasted first half. Another plan we showed up with and couldn’t execute …
Conceicao with the wrong lineup again, in my opinion. Abraham is useless, Musah on the right is still baffling me after 3 managers doing the same thing.
Please take off Musah and Tammy and bring on Gimenez and either Pulisic or Leao..
This referee is also bought. How is that not a straight red on Walker?
Y are u blaming Abraham ,he is not being fed ,infact he is not given the ball so how does he execute
He can’t do anything, can’t score, cant hold the ball up, he is rubbish. Look at the difference when Gimenez came on.
Musah clown! Cant do a sh*t upwards , not surprised 1st didnt work ,now we have to tire out our players even more cause of this idio*ic line up
A goal for Empoli
and they will park the bus….
Can anyone post YouTube link of watch along commentary
Tomori sent off. Remember the idiots who said we shouldn’t sell to a rival?
I knew this referee is bad news already when he gives a yellow to Felix at 1st half, so many stupid calls against us..
I said something Milan is very much unpredictable and unreliable so you don’t write them off reason I said this when we meet big teams we play unbelievable then small teams we play like primary school boys the inconsistency is becoming to much anything rather than a win kiss UCL goodbye
Hilarious referee lmao
Red card for Empoli, goal for Leao.
Apart from questionable tactic from SC, I find the ref is really awful, as if he just doesnt want Milan to win. No red card for bad tackling on Walker, no card when player tackled in Reijnders when counter attack build up, yellow for Felix “simulation”.
He is right tho giving red card for Tomori (if Colombo wasnt offside) amd for Empoli player who kick Gimenez’s ball.
But overal, I would rate the ref as 4 out of 10
Referee is bad. But Tomori really should not be here anymore. The dude is good one game and bad many others.
Our defense looks somehow better with Tomori no longer on the pitch lol
Santi!!!!! 2-0 yayyyy
that turned out to be a lot of fun
Fantastic quality up front, two fantastic signings in Felix and Gimenez. Tomori stupid, but this was also the worst referee I’ve seen in a Milan game in forever.
