What a performance from kessie and kjaer

Napoli out,

E ANDIAMOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I'm literally dead. Haven't felt like this since the last minutes of Athens 2007.

hopefully this is a spring board! this team has some good pieces but also has some glaring holes, especially in midfield and up front. a couple of quality signings could seriously improve this team.

Best moment since the 2011 scudetto

I'm still shaking...

Absolutely speechless. I thought we were done last week, but this game we played and could have only won one way playing a perfect defensive game

Its crazy because i thought would be difficult to sleep after losing but now am sure will need to sleep at work tomorrow

Cannot believe we did it!!

And 2nd place to boot! A well deserved 2nd place after all that we're achieved this season. Another record was broken tonight as well. We beat Inter's 06/07 record of most won away games. Had our home form been slightly better we would have took Inter to the final day, not scrapped as we have done for CL. But alas. This is a huge spring board for this club. A couple of key singings and a proper look into the medical/fitness teams and we should be even better next season


We must make sure we hold on to all our important players


Honestly, could barely watch this today I was so nervous. Didn't even want to look in here either. Cannot believe we did on the last day against Atalanta of all teams

16 - AC Milan have set a new all-time record for away wins in a Serie A season: 16 ? no side has ever done better in the top-5 European leagues in a single campaign (16 also for Real Madrid 2011/12 and Manchester City 2017/18). Conquering.


It's also astonishing that we nearly got 80 points this season and were one mis-step away from finishing 5th. When in the previous seasons anything above 65 is basically a sure thing for top 4

I think this goes to show that Serie A is a bit too bloated with terrible teams...

We parked the bus like Cagliari did against us last week. But honestly I was never expecting to dominate a team like Atalanta. Nevertheless, this kind of mentality will bring us nowhere next season in the CL.

We need to make a few quality signings if we wanna go anywhere. It's imperative.

I honestly don't think the second penalty was legit, but even so it was in the very end, and with Napoli drawing even if Atalanta somehow tied it still wouldn't have mattered.

Speaking of which, Napoli not winning was a huge shocker. I was certain they had the easiest match, especially considering their superb form as of lately. Football really is unpredictable.

Now, first things first.. Donna and Hakan renewals please.

Then a vice Zlatan, and proper cover for full backs.

Let the dreams begin

I think we've been slipping in terms of performances for a while now over this season. A lot has happened to contribute to this. It has not been an easy few months by any means. Through Covid, an unending injury list which plagues us to this final day, players never getting any playing rhythm or form and starting the season so early after practically no summer break. It has been a difficult season with many curve balls thrown in.

We have shown that we can beat the best teams in the league while playing good football. Tonight, we scrapped for our lives and did it. We could never have gone out gung-ho against Atalanta. That's basically an open door-way for them to score. Just as we did in the first game.

I think in these last 5 critical games we have shown that we have the spirit and quality, As usual we made life difficult for ourselves against Cagliari for no apparent reason other than this being the typical Milan way for the last 10 years.

The goal of CL is not simply about playing in that competition again. It's about the doors that will open because of playing in that competition. The much needed extra cash injection, which will allow Paolo and the rest much more opportunities in the transfer market.


As we all know, getting CL is the spring board we have been desperate for for years now. We can finally make the improvements we need to make in the squad

I don't have any doubts about Donna personally, I think he'll renew. Not so sure about Hakan. I won't cry about losing him from the pitch, but it would be terrible financially for us to lose him for free

Belotti would be my ideal vice Zlatan. Fiorentina will want an arm and a leg for Vlahovic, I don't think we have that kind of money to burn at this point

Kessie MVP of the season. What a warrior!

It's insane the amount of games he's played this season

Aside from the impeccable performances throughout the season. After what we've been through with injuries, I have come to appreciate his dependability of always being fit and available for the team. What a man!


Tomori, Kjear and him were amazing today

Btw. Donna did not make a single save if I am not mistaken. Which is a huge defensive feat in and of itself

We've scored 14 goals and conceded 0 in the last 5 games.

Him guarding the ball in the end of the match resumes his season for us. True warrior!

Donnarumma was very emotional after the game. We often forget that he is just a kid.

Wrong. Malinovskiy shot a outside-the-box shot straight into his arms.

Anyway, I'm in for a reassessment of our season and team.

Donnarumma, Kessie, Calabria and Kjaer had a almost impeccable season. We should definitively hold onto them.

Rebić, Hernandez and Alexis are very important to us and I think they still can grow. Tomori is a potential rock and we should definitively sign him permanently. Unsure what to do with Romagnoli. The biggest problem with him is that he's not improving and making the same mistakes over and over again. Yet his leadership skills and commanding ability is what we lack often.

Ibra is the true team leader and it's really good to have something of his winning mentality.

I'd also keep Krunić and Meite who seem to be needed by Pioli as the sort of extra muscle Ancelotti used to take in. Sure, they're not especially quality but yesterday they proved me wrong and gave much needed stability to the team. Not for the first time either.

I'm very unsure about Diaz, who has his bright moments but all in all has too many problems to be considered a long term solution. Leao should definitively be sold. Dalot improved a lot, but still I'm leaning towards sending him back. I'd also keep Mandzo for a second spell because he seems to be coming into shape and I think he can be cheap and effective given more time as a 3rd option upfront.

Now the biggest question mark for me is Bennacer. After his repeated injury he never came back if you ask me. I was angry when Pioli took him off against Cagliari but yesterday he did rightly so. Misplaced passes all over the field, no real creative impetus and above all not able to shake off the pressuring. I know you guys adore Bennacer and I still think he's a really good option in midfield, but I'm starting to be skeptical here.

Pioli. Well... now that we secured CL I'll say that I'd rather sign a more experienced coach who won't burn out that quickly with us. I think Pioli is handling this team good but I think there's very little room to grow. He's played every trick in his playbook, he's having a good relationship with the team, granted, but I don't see how he can further improve the troops. That being said, I'm not sure a good coach is available and willing to take over, not to say that our management is satisfied. So keeping Pioli will definitively be the right thing to do, but not the best thing IMO.

For next season we need a new striker. We need a right winger who is capable of attacking and has speed and mobility. We need a creator to replace Hakan (Mkhitaryan maybe?), another perhaps younger creative midfielder to replace Meite, a fullback (perhaps keep Conti and Laxalt) and potentially a CB if Romag leaves. So we need 3 top players/potentially starters and at least 3 rotational players.

I'm willing to watch the EURO and give Belotti another chance but right now I'm all against him. I think he's vastly overrated and he stayed for too long in Turin to become anything else but a choker and loser. For Christ sake, there's a reason why he's pushing 28 and still playing for Torino. I'd rather sign someone who can bring either the unknown talent factor (like Leao should have done) or a tested and proven player. What do you guys think of Giroud for free and a versatile striker who can cover both CF and RW?

The creative spot to replace the ever undependable Hakan is what worries me. No real target comes to mind other then Mkhitaryan who is better then Hakan but still not what we need.

Aguero' a free agent..so is Diego Costa

Mandzu is leaving for sure Pippo.

I think Dalot could be always a decent backup and he can improve even more..it will all depend on where he wants to go also.

Aguero's about to sign for Barca, I think. And Costa hasn't played since December, for some reason he never found a club.

@Fillipo Bennacer had a bad season, there's no other way of seeing it, between constant injuries and the team playing badly in the second part. I don't doubt his qualities as a player. I think he and Kessie are the players we should start from in midfield.

Here's my way of looking at things:

Goalie: I really want Gigio to stay. Besides being a superb goalie, the way he incites the players is remarkable. He's a leader at 22 years old, a youth product, and should become the next Maldini.

Center backs: Romagnoli should stay. We'll be facing three intense competitions, so we need a decent third option, and Romagnoli can be that player. Granted, he hasn't lived up to expectations, but he's still a good defender. We also need a fourth option, cos guys like Gabbia and Kalulu don't convince me in the slightest. Maybe Caladara?

Fullbacks: I'd keep Dalot but I don't think the club is willing to spend what ManUtd is asking for a second option RB. Dalot has improved a lot throughout the season, and let's not forget he's only 22. But if he does leave then I think we'll sign Hysaj from Napoli. We also need to sign a sub for Theo.

Central midfield: Like I said, Bennacer and Kessie are untouchable. Tonali will also be signed permanently (although I am still puzzled by the way he disappeared from the radar in this last part of the season). Krunic I would sell. Let's not get emotional by this season's achievement, if we wanna aim higher players like Krunic have no place on this team. Meite I'm unsure of, because he's shown that he can be a very reliable player sometimes. If we don't keep him then obviously we need a fourth option in that midfield.

Attacking midfield: Hakan has been the worst player of the season for me. For a number 10 who's supposed to be the brains and spark of our attacks, he's been a huge let down. I would personally let him go, but who are we gonna sign instead? De Paul? Ilicic? They don't convince me. As for Brahim, if it's possible I would like to extend the loan for another season. He's a good backup to have.

Wingers: This is where push comes to shove. Our attack has been so poor this season, and that part of the pitch we need to invest the most in the summer. Get rid of Castillejo and Leao. Take Hauge out on loan. We need two top class wingers. Rebic and Saelemaekers can only be second choices. I have no idea who we can sign. Depay would have been great, free agent, but apparently he's also set for a Barca move.

Striker: Mandzukic just said his farewell. We need someone who can rotate with Zlatan. I like Belotti personally, but aren't there any other names we can go after? Vlahovic doesn't convince me 100%, and obviously Fiorentina will demand an arm and a leg for him.

It's gonna be an intense summer, maybe the Euros can showcase a few interesting talents. But we need to improve this team a lot, especially in attack. Three top forwards are imperative.

Just realized Milan are in pot 4 in the CL.

Times have changed and as it stands the club could be handed a really tough group. So tough the team might miss out of qualifying out of it

Lot of fuss about Allegri or Zidane going to Juve. Has Pirlo been discarded?

Allegri also mentioned as a potential Conte successor.

Not anything official yet regarding Pirlo, but I'm counting the days or maybe hours...

Allegri to Juve is almost official.

Simone Inzaghi new Inter coach.

Solid pick. Don't know why I have a good feeling about this one to backfire soon.

The merry-go-round of coaches is dizzying. I don't think Inzaghi is the right choice for Inter. Going from an iron man like Conte to someone as soft as Simone is not good, especially with that bunch

Allegri for Juve is a solid pick both footballing wise and economically since he was still on their books. But will it work the 2nd time round? Especially when the squad is much weaker than the one he had last time round.

I'm hearing rumblings about Dybala. And Allegri was never too fond of him, what would you guys think about him being our #10? I think offering Romagnoli would sweeten a potential deal and we'd get him relatively cheap

First of all, we can't afford him. Secondly, where would he play? He's not adequate for a 4-2-3-1. The guy is a SS, not a trequartista.

Wrong topic.

Change the system then. Dybala is worth the effort.

I think he can play the #10 behind Ibra.

Guys, we can't just go after Dybala because he may leave. As I said, we can't afford him. The guy has a market value of 60M and earns more than 7M per season. He's outside our budget.

Dybala would be spectacular playing off of Ibra. Not sure if it's feasible though

We were offering Donna 8m a year.

I think using that on an outfield player of Dybala's quality is much more bang for your buck

For sure!

Dybala would be the highlight of the summer. Actually the highlight of the past 7 seasons

Looks like Max wants to keep him though

Which is strange since he never really used him properly when he was previously there

Did anyone actually? Pirlo certainly didn't. Sarri as well. Dybala gave some of his best performances under Allegri.

Hmm, true

Dybala would be best imo in a similar role as Lautaro has at Inter. Playing off of a CF. I don't think he's ever been utilised as such at Juve though, especially since Ronaldo's arrival
