The defeat against Roma last night is the tombstone on a season that CEO Giorgio Furlani has described as disastrous, and no fans would disagree with that assessment. It means that Milan will not play any European football in 2025-26, a catastrophic failure.
There is one game left in the ordeal, a home match against Monza next weekend, but now nothing to play for. Instead, it might well become simply an opportunity for the supporters to express their strong discontent after such an awful campaign.
Mazzara published his weekly column for MilanNews and in the opening part he spoke about the depressing nature of the defeat at the Olimpico and what might follow at the weekend.
“Last night, how many people watched Roma-Milan with the desire to watch it and how many did it as a sort of moral obligation as a fan?
“Well, I think the second option could have a plebiscite of votes, among other things it is undeniable that if the eyes were, even half-heartedly, focused on the umpteenth defeat of a failed and shameful season, the other antennas were tuned between San Siro and Parma to understand what would happen in Inter-Lazio and Parma-Napoli.
“Roma-Milan, in its entirety, was given a fair amount of a damn by those who had to follow it for work and those who had put some money on it for bets or fantasy football. The sporting theme of the match at the Olimpico did not interest anyone. Probably not even the players who took to the field. But now comes what everyone is waiting for, that is, the showdown.
“Today the Lega Council will decide when the useless Milan-Monza match will be played on the last day of the season, which Casa Milan will perhaps try to dress up as the match of the new shirt for the next season, but which will have eyes and interests on what will happen in the stands.
“Because we anticipated it in recent days: Milan-Monza will be the place of reckoning, of the most important public protest that the fans as a whole will stage. The methods will be strong, but at the same time civil, because no one wants to risk a Daspo at a time like this.
“But there will certainly be no hurrahs or responses to the pre-match calls to action (have mercy on poor Gegio [the stadium announced], forced to do things that are no longer followed by anyone at the stadium).”
