AC Milan also needs the eighth for the budget. The club believes in the possibility of making its way and the ambitious market proves it
It is not only a question of money, but, let’s not hide, even those are important. Because by hitting the qualification for the Champions League round, Milan would remedy the error committed on the last day of the single group phase (he lost to Zagreb by leaving the first eight) and would collect the eleven million that UEFA guarantees to those who exceed the playoffs. It would be added to the 61.3 million which have already been reclaimed by Nyon in via Aldo Rossi after the first eight meetings such as access fee to the cup, market market, ten -year ranking and fee relating to the results collected. All net of the four euro-inches that the devil did not communicate, more that of tomorrow afternoon.

The money, however, is not everything or if you prefer, is a consequence of what it would mean overturning the result of the De Kuip for the club: that is, returning to the round of 16 after the mission was failed last season. The Rossoneri DNA is European and against Feyenoord is the time to prove it so as not to continue 2024-25 with the unpleasant flavor in the mouth that he wasted a great opportunity. It is no coincidence that Friday, in the presence of Ibrahimovic and Moncada, Conceiçao asked for a shock in the form of a double statement against Hellas and Feyenoord. To stay in the race in the Champions League and maybe play another Eurodby. The minimum goal, to be achieved at all costs, is the entry between the top four in the championship to participate also in 2025-26 in the most prestigious European cup, but you must also give the maximum to make as many path as possible in the scoreboard of this Champions League. Above all because the Rossoneri outside the national borders have experienced one of the most beautiful nights so far, that of the triumph at Bernabeu.
Market to fly

The cardinal patron will look at tomorrow’s challenge from the United States with the usual transport. In these days he has been as usual in contact with Ibrahimovic and the other managers. He hopes for another joy in this 2025 which began with the first trophy of his management. The Super Cup did not satisfy the desire to win the number one of Redbird. Otherwise, together with his managers, he would not have revolutionized the squad with important arrivals in the January market. Moves that sound like admission to have made mistakes during the summer transfers campaign. Walker, Gimenez, Joao Felix, Bondo and Sottil certify the Rossoneri desire to satisfy Conceiçao and to make investments that can be useful not only for the present, but also in future perspective. And that above all have had a minimum impact for the budget considering the greatest costs between amortization, loans and salaries, but also the savings on depreciation, wages and capital gains. The devil therefore continued on the road to self -impossibility taken when the property passed to Elliott and the accounting books were put back in order after the Chinese management. Also thanks to the new revenue record of the last financial statements (457 million), a result facilitated by the strength of the Rossoneri brand (the confirmation came during the Italian Super Cup finals in Riad where the Rossoneri fans were in superiority compared to those of Juve, Inter and Atalanta), but also by the international force of the Cardinal Fund. If the results of the field also arrived, the picture would be complete. For the assault on the second star it will be necessary to wait for next season, but, with a trophy on the bulletin board, it would be a success to close in the Champions area and make as much road as possible both in Europe and in the Italian Cup, where the formation of Conceiçao is in semifinal.
Ranking and appeal

The fans rightly think in terms of conquered cups and the dream (the most beautiful of all possible ones) is to update the number of champions won (7) present in the patch on Maignan and companions. For the managers, however, other factors are also important: to arrive in the round of 16 in fact would confirm the growth trend of the club, passed from the eighty place in the 2019-20 UEFA ranking to the twenty-ninth position of 2023-24, to the current twentieth. And the devil on TV all over the world would return even more fashionable. Because the Champions League is seen everywhere. Much more in Serie A. and in an increasingly global market, Milan-Fayenoord of tomorrow evening has a value that goes beyond the “simple” passage of the round.
