Yesterday, Milan had only one thing to do to at least try to honor this season: win and close the gap with Juventus in the standings to fuel their Champions League dreams.
Dreams that at the start seemed like they could already be a reality by now, especially since we're talking about a team that finished second last season and, according to RedBird's Senior Advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has been reinforced.
Today, however, the standings are clear: eighth place and eight points behind Juventus in fourth. The season is heavily compromised, not that it wasn't before, but now even that glimmer of hope Milan had kept alive for the Champions League is fading and will soon extinguish. Regarding the Emilia-Romagna disaster for the Rossoneri, Il Corriere dello Sport headlined this morning with:
"Conceiçao, Bologna cancels Milan."
