The latest edition of the dayily Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport published the following headline:
"Milan, goodbye Scudetto. Only the Champions League now."
After the defeat on Atalanta's ground, the Rossoneri's Scudetto dream has already faded in December, and now they must do everything they can to qualify for the next Champions League.
What is Milan's situation in the European stage?
While things are not going too well in the league, in Europe, despite a difficult start, Fonseca's team could even finish the group stage among the top eight and advance to the round of 16 without going through the playoffs.
To achieve this, the Rossoneri will need to win their last three matches against Red Star and Girona at home, and Dinamo Zagreb away.
