Performances like Sunday’s are not new for Milan, especially not this season. When things have come to a halt (as they did on Wednesday against Bologna), the following result has normally shown the team to be shell-shocked a little.

A win is a necessity if the club want to reach the top eight, though this is dependent on other results also, and Ranieri spoke a little about the current table to Rai Radio 1, via Milan Press.
“I told my players to be careful with Milan, because for me, they have the strongest players in Serie A. They won’t always play as a team, but when and if they do, it’s painful for everyone. How can they be ninth? Honestly, I can’t explain it to myself .”
