"Back three, Allegri has locked down Milan"
That is the headline this morning from Corriere dello Sport, which reports that the Rossoneri are the team that have conceded the lowest xGA (expected goals against) in the first two league matches. One of Max Allegri’s main goals was to fix the defensive phase and turn the team into a more solid side.
Today begins the week leading to Milan - Bologna, scheduled at San Siro on Sunday, September 14, 2025, at 20:45. It is the last rest day, with training at Milanello set to resume on Tuesday. That day will also be key to understand whether Rafa Leao will be available to Max Allegri after the calf injury he suffered against Bari in mid-August. As the match against Italiano’s team approaches, all the Rossoneri on international duty will gradually return to Italy.
