At this point last season, Milan were in second place with 26 points thanks to eight wins, two draws and just one loss. Napoli were three points ahead and the Rossoneri still had a very good chance of defending the Scudetto. Today, however, the situation is very different.
Inter are six points ahead of Milan in the standings and the Nerazzurri have also looked a lot better. Not to mention that Juventus also are doing well. The Rossoneri will now do better to focus on a top-four finish, as highlighted by Andrea Longoni for MilanNews.
“The truth is that after yesterday, it’s better to focus on finishing in the top four. But doing so in November is a great shame and hurts a lot,” he wrote.
Milan will face PSG next and a good result will be needed to keep the knockout stages dream alive. Considering that the reverse fixture ended 3-0 in favour of the French side, though, it will be far from easy for Stefano Pioli and his men.
