"Milan go from Scudetto hopefuls to clinging on in the top four race. With Como and Roma both playing earlier on Sunday, and with Juventus having won last night, the gap to fifth place could well be eradicated. The Rossoneri do still have matters in their own hands though, as they know six points from the last three league games (at most) will see them lock in a top four spot."
"Below is how the papers look in Italy this morning, with all four of the sports ones making reference to how big a night this is for Massimiliano Allegri's men. La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Allegri turns Milan around. Six changes. Gimenez-Pulisic up front." Corriere dello Sport: "Leao and Fofana on the bench. Milan need six points from three games to qualify for the Champions League. Gimenez will pair up with Pulisic. Ricci is in.""
"Tuttosport: "Max: still Milan. Allegri: 'I'm here for a long time'. Tonight's match and the future." QS: "Milan and Allegri, the final sprint will be decisive for the future.""
Milan’s two wins in seven have shifted expectations from Scudetto contention to fighting to remain in the top four. Results elsewhere on Sunday, including matches involving Como and Roma and a Juventus win the previous night, could reduce the gap to fifth place. Milan still control their own qualification path, needing up to six points from their last three league games to lock in a top-four finish. Italian sports front pages emphasize the importance of the upcoming match for Massimiliano Allegri’s future. Multiple papers indicate potential lineup changes, including benching players such as Leao and Fofana, and starting a Gimenez-Pulisic partnership, with Ricci also expected to play.
