Milan reached the break with slightly renewed hopes of chasing fourth place, which means qualification for the Champions League.
The mission is still almost impossible, but the Rossoneri have closed the gap to six points behind Bologna, who currently occupy the coveted position.

The problem is Milan's lack of consistency, with five teams standing between them and the Rossoblù.
Meanwhile, plans are already being made on how to reorganize the club and the squad ahead of next season. Stefano De Grandis discussed this in the Sky Sport studios.
Here are his words on Alexis Saelemaekers:
"If you play a 4-3-3, Pulisic, Gimenez, and Leao make for a great attacking trio. What I haven’t understood about Milan, and still don’t, is the decision to let someone like Saelemaekers go, who is a fantastic alternative and perfect when you need a more balanced team. If you're leading and need to defend, you can take off either Leao or Pulisic, adjust the team, and restore balance," as relayed via Milannews.it.
