Gallery: ‘What a crossroads, ‘A Champions League play-off’ – today’s front pages in Italy

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan have one of their biggest games of the season this evening as they take on Roma at the Stadio Olimpico in what is a crucial battle for the top four spots.

Milan come into the game buoyed by their win against Lecce last weekend and with Lazio and Juventus both having suffered defeats, as well as their opponents for this game who were beaten by Atalanta.

Below are the front pages of the Italian papers…

La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Leao: yes to Milan. Turning point in renewal soap opera. Agreement reached with the club. Rafa ready to sign: €7m for 5 years. Deal is also close with Sporting. Against Mou it’s a #UCL play-off. The Rossoneri visit Roma.”

Corriere dello Sport: “Rome against Milan. Champions League battle, what a crossroads: today Roma-Milan, tomorrow Inter-Lazio. Pioli with his trademark XI. Mou keeps everyone at Trigoria. Option for five defenders, Dybala starts on the bench.”

Tuttosport: “Roma-Milan worth a Champions League place.”
