Max Allegri’s Milan return to action tonight against Pisa in the opening match of Serie A’s eighth round. The Rossoneri, after their strong home win over Pioli’s Fiorentina, must secure more valuable points to stay on track with their goal.
Leao and the San Siro curse
In the last round, Rafael Leão found the net again at the Meazza in Serie A, 512 days after his previous home goal (May 25, 2024). In both of the previous times he had scored at home, he repeated in the following home game as well: against Salernitana and Cagliari in May 2024, and against Atalanta and Lecce between February and April of the same year. The Portuguese left-winger, however, has scored only two goals in his last 12 league matches against newly promoted sides.
