At present, if you ask anyone with an interest in AC Milan, they would rightly suggest that the Coppa Italia is everything, but a report has suggested otherwise.
In a failure of a season, Milan are sitting, looking at a branch of salvation, one that is reachable. It would not solve everything, far from it, and it could actually create more problems than it is worth. However, European football is a financial must.
To achieve this, the Rossoneri must beat Inter tomorrow night and then win in the final, but the focus can not be placed on these two games. Instead, the club have to remain interested in everything left to fight for, as Gazzetta dello Sport suggests they ‘cannot afford’ to do anything else.
An eight-point gap separates the Diavolo from fifth place; however, if Inter were to win the Coppa Italia, then the European parameters would be extended to sixth, and in turn seventh.
So, if the club are, for whatever reason, unsuccessful in the Coppa Italia, then there is still a slight chance at saving the season. Of course, winning two trophies and entering the European competition is the big preference. But if it all goes wrong in the final, for example, then at least there is still a hand left on the table.
If Lazio wins their game in hand they’ll be in 6th place and we’ll be 6 points off 7th (Conference League), 8 off 6th (EL). Still very much uphill. Then, would we actually want to be in the Conference League? A part of me says, yes, a club like Milan should be able to handle playing in the Conf. League while playing for a top 4 spot, if it’s expected to reach the CL knockouts and a top 4 spot in a normal season. But at the same time, after such a poor season and summer of upheaval, it might be best not to have the extra games and focus on getting back into the CL next season, a la Napoli.
this article is just precise, milan are just putting all their eggs in one basket(thinking they would go all the way by beating inter and win the final) – not even putting enough performance in the league.
This has been a great season! AC Milan have set themselves up to dominate in future seasons.
No need for any kind of result.
Red Bird politics needs to save this situation by investing money from loosing revenue because of very bad results, plus selling players because of their very low showcase.
What if Milan goes to the final and lose, but Bologna clinch 4th place and CL. Dont the Coppa italia spot in the Europa Leauge go to Milan?
I was thinking those scenarios the other day. But Conference League isn’t worth it, then i rather go for clean sleet from the new season and the so called “new revolution”
