AC Milan finished the first half of the season with 42 points while being second in the standings behind their cousins, Inter, who have 46 points. Stefano Pioli's men have struggled to keep their great form in the league due to the many injuries. The biggest obstacle is arguably Simon Kjaer's blow which will keep him out of the football pitch until the rest of the season, unfortunately.
