It seems impossible that such a group not only does not arrive in the maximum competition, but even struggle to run for the Europa League. And the question winds: the long trips to Thursday evening or have only the championship is better?
Rating agencies should reclassify the Milan crisis. In the last 9 days, the elimination in the Champions League and the three defeats with Turin, Bologna and Lazio have removed both the hope of a seasonal rebirth (and this is normal) and the desire to reverse the route for the next season. Milan will change everything – coach, players, on managers who knows – but the fans don’t know in who and what to hope for. They vote for the total revolution, to games from the company, and the novelty is that many have now come to invoke eighth place, at the limit the ninth, in short, the exit from all the cups. It is the paradox: the Milan players, who grew up in the ball and the Champions League, who felt citizens of Europe even when they paid in lire, hope not to play the cups.
who qualifies

AC Milan can go to Europe arriving in the top seven in the championship or winning the Italian Cup (if Empoli won it, however, the European places would be the first six). Unlikely, very improbable now, that a place-extra place in the Champions League arrives from the battle of the coefficients, as happened at the end of last season. If Inter win the Italian Cup, the championship would bring an extra team in the cups but the Milan players now do not want to deal and many dream of a season-style season, with free weeks and no European commitment. In short, the question imposes itself and is not trivial as it seems: better to do the Europa League or the conference, with their long trips to Thursday evening, or have only the championship?
Rich rose but …

The question, with such a team, is paradoxical. AC Milan has the third mountain engagement of Serie A and talent in abundance. The champions of the past: Maignan, Theo, Leao, with the first two in open crisis. The new reference players: Pulisic and Reijnders. The purchases of January: Gimenez, Walker, Joao Felix. In the group there are heavy engagements, players who have won in Europe, owners and reserves of important national teams. Impossible, on paper, that a group so not only does not arrive in the Champions League, but even struggle to run for the Europa League. The calendar says trip to Lecce, Como, transfer to Naples, Italian Cup derby, Fiorentina, trip to Udine, Atalanta and another derby. There is no easy game but a lot, for Milan, easy games do not exist.
