Milan’s Champions League Hopes Fade as they Suffer Shock Defeat to SPAL

Il Milan lost. After the very bad first leg semi-final against Inter in which the Rossoneri were dominated by their cousins, we expected a strong reaction from Stefano Pioli’s team in the championship and instead Spicewho hadn’t won for two months, achieved a well-deserved victory that throws the former Italian champions more and more away from the next Champions League.

Alibi? Not this time

Once again after a good victory against Lazio last week, a disappointing result arrives in the championship. Once again Milan fail to score points against a “small” team, even if the “small” team wore the Rossoneri shirt yesterday. And this time, as Corriere della Sera suggests, there are no alibis that hold. One wonders if yesterday’s performance is linked to thinking too much about Tuesday’s return with Inter, if so it wouldn’t be a justification at all but, on the contrary, a problem. In addition, even with 7 absentees, Pioli had to field many starters and nevertheless even with a much stronger team on paper, Milan he couldn’t get anything out of it. If this is the trend and the state of form, the comeback in the Champions League requested by the team from the curve at the end of the race seems honestly very difficult.

50 million

With the results accrued between Friday and yesterday Milan he slips to four points off fourth place and today on the one hand Juventus could extend the standings, on the other Roma could hook the Rossoneri themselves in the standings. With only 9 points available, including a direct clash against Max Allegri’s bianconeri, the possibility of playing in the next Champions League is gets thinner and thinner. Rossoneri owner Gerry Cardinale had underlined the importance of qualifying and actually not doing so would be a significant economic loss: a hole of 50 million. Now we need to reset and play our cards on Tuesday, also hoping for the return of Raphael Leo even if, as Corriere points out, it is wrong to place all hopes on the shoulders of the Portuguese who also comes from an injury.
