AC Milan need to ensure that they offer a reaction to the Monza defeat when they take on Atalanta in Serie A this weekend, with their third-place finish in Serie A under threat.
As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Atalanta are Milan’s biggest threat when it comes to third place, a position that the Rossoneri could all but wrap up if they beat La Dea at San Siro on Sunday evening.
Milan have got a seven-point lead over Atalanta, but Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have got a game in hand. If they beat Milan for the third time this season and then win their game in hand, suddenly that gap is down to just one point.
That is one reason to produce a great performance, but the other is that Milan were seriously disappointing in their last Serie A game against Monza, losing 4-2 at the U-Power Stadium.
They have to show why they have what it takes to not only secure third place, but also move above of Juventus in second, an opportunity that was missed against Monza.
It would be a statement to beat Atalanta given they are in sterling form right now, winning their last five matches in Serie A whilst scoring plenty of goals.
