Fabio Ravezzani, director of Telelombardia, posted this on X regarding tonight's match between Atalanta and Milan:
"Tonight's match between Atalanta and Milan is a crucial test for Fonseca. The technical level of the teams is comparable (in my opinion, slightly higher for the Rossoneri). Therefore, the difference will be made by the coaches. And in December, the excuse that the Portuguese has just arrived doesn't hold anymore."
On the other hand, journalist Paolo Condo has also shared his thoughts regarding Atalanta - Milan:
"In my opinion, this match against Atalanta is almost decisive for Milan's Italian season. They lost quite a few points in the early stages of the league. Now, they need a big performance—such as winning in Bergamo—to get back on track and regain awareness, confidence, and enthusiasm. But above all, to earn points and halt some of the teams that are pulling ahead. I deliberately said Italian season because their European campaign, which features an important but certainly less challenging match at home against Red Star next week, has already been put back on track," he told Sky sport Italia.
