AC Milan of Massimiliano Allegri is preparing for the final and decisive league match, scheduled for Sunday evening at San Siro against Cagliari Calcio. The Rossoneri, in order to qualify for next season’s Champions League, will need to secure a victory that is far from guaranteed. In fact, the first real mistake the team coached by the ex Juventus boss could make would be to underestimate Cagliari Calcio of Fabio Pisacane, already safe from relegation with one match to spare thanks to their recent home win against Torino FC.
On a night that could bring enormous joy to the Milan supporters, who nevertheless remain in open protest against the club management and ownership of Gerry Cardinale, coach Max Allegri is playing for both Europe and his future. According to the latest reports, the Rossoneri coach is increasingly close to remaining on the Milan bench next season as well, although the interest of SSC Napoli and their sporting director Giovanni Manna remains very much alive and watchful.
So, the league’s final matchday is drawing ever closer: Cagliari Calcio heads to San Siro without pressure, with survival already secured and the opportunity to play freely and without fear. Against AC Milan, the historical record is extremely harsh: almost nine years without a victory, only one recent moment of joy, and many heavy defeats.
Yet it was precisely against the Rossoneri that Fabio Pisacane wrote one of the most emotional chapters of his career, scoring the decisive goal in the final historic match at Stadio Sant'Elia in 2017.
Sunday evening therefore presents the Sardinians with the chance to earn points again against a Milan side that has an enormous amount at stake: the possibility of returning to the Champions League and securing an important summer transfer campaign. This was reported by Milan News.
