The only miracle that might happen is how we fumble another opportunity to win

Just realized Atalanta has a lot to play for. Because Roma lost, there’s now a chance for the qualifying spot. 🤞

Atalanta smoked them at the Meazza last season and that's pretty much what we need again. It needs to be a multi-goal game because even if they're leading by a goal late in the game, you know Milan's going to get an equalizer, and at this point even that would be enough because Sassuolo has been useless for years against Milan.

Every time someone mentions palermo I think of miccoli scoring goals in dying minutes against us. It's the quintessential banter era moment and memory for me.

The result is some crazy shit like 3-3 or 4-4 and miccoli scores a winning goal, ending our hope for cl qualification. Banter era in nutshell :lol:

I honestly put more faith in Milan screwing up and losing against Sassuolo on the final match day than against Atalanta.

Atalanta have been in complete free fall since Christmas. Sassuolo on the other hand are a complete wild card team and you never know when their youngsters will turn it up to impress their suitors. If we win against Cagliari and they need to get a result on the final match day, it could make for a tricky situation if they go down.

I’m not 100% sure inter win both games either so who knows. Milan have been impressive at grinding out results this year and they’ve put themselves in a situation where only they can blow it.

This ain't over yet , we still have chance do we ?
Miracle do happen ! Good luck boys

Colombia needed the same thing to happen to go to Qatar.....

We are watching the WC from home :)

6 points left we need to win 6 and hope they lose. If they tie and win and we win both they are champions because of head to head.

I mean I hope Atalanta win but most likely a tie. That team chokes more than Ibra or Napoli does

BREAKING: Serie A clubs are pushing to have VAR challenges.

They'd like one or two challenges per game where they can request a video review to give more transparency when they want it.

But why? I just see room for further manipulations. If you can't trust those three fucks in a var room to do their job properly, which is exactly the job of what that proposed rule implies, I don't even know what to say... They have enough time to review everything.

Momentum of the game will be even more fucked up, it will sometimes probably be used deliberately for that exact reason, and i m already seeing referees folding under pressure after the second challenge on allianz stadium under agnellis watchful eye.

I don't get that. Isn't VAR checking all the unclear plays anyway? Goals, penalty calls, reds..

Why would we have these coach's challenges?

Them and bilan really bully refs into submission. If this rule is implemented, it will serve only for that purpose.

Berardi has like 10 goals against Milan, right? It's possible a miracle can happen

This I disagree with. Even if they do not win the league, this is an immensely successful season for Milan. Part of what makes Milan's success so annoying is however, is that by all rights, it shouldn't have worked - and knowing our luck, there's no chance it'd work for us.

  • 9 times out of 10, when you lose a generational talent and national team keeper like Donnarumma, that too for free, you struggle to replace him. Milan not only replaced him but arguably improved on him with Maignan for just €15m. This is generally not how it goes. Imagine us replacing prime Handanovic for some loser like Cragno - do you think we wouldn't feel Handanovic's absence?

  • 9 times out of 10, when you lose a starting midfielder for free and you don't properly replace him, you struggle. Yet despite missing Calhanoglu and having an absolute bum "replacement" in Brahim Diaz, Milan have managed to win without Calhanoglu's G + A contribution

  • 9 times out of 10, when both your starting striker and backup striker are simultaneously injured, you struggle to score goals. Yet despite missing both Ibra and Giroud, often at the same time (Rebic too), Milan still managed to keep winning games

  • 9 times out of 10, when you lose your starting CB for the season with an ACL injury, your defence struggles, not to mention when your other starter is simultaneously injured. Yet Milan managed to win games, including the derby, with a backline of fucking Kalulu - Romagnoli. Again, this is not how this kind of thing goes

  • Speaking of Kalulu, 9 times out of 10, replacing your starting CB with some unknown RB bought from France for €1m does not work. Yet Milan have found an extremely reliable player in Kalulu for extremely cheap and they have not missed Kjaer at all. That generally does not happen either. Imagine that Handanovic and Radu both got injured and we had to play fucking Gabriel Brazao who performed out of his skin? Unimaginable

My point is that 9 times out of 10, the situations that Milan have faced don't end up the way they have ended up for Milan. When you downsize your squad, replace them with players of lesser repute, you do NOT end up competing, let alone winning the league.

Sure, they've had some luck with external factors, namely Suning's self-amputation of our squad, plus juve's transition period. But what Pioli has done is nothing short of miraculous. I am impressed as I am bemused by the whole thing.

And remember how the stars aligned when they had to be punished for breaching FFP. They happily took the punishment of not partaking in the Europa League. Meanwhile there we were having to lose guys like Cancelo due to FFP. No club has adhered to FFP like Inter it seems or at least used FFP to quieten its own fans on less spending than Inter whilst our city rivals gave a proper middle finger to UEFA and as it stands lost nothing due to it. Amazing how the starts have aligned for them on and off the pitch.
