AC Milan come out of the season with more questions than certainties. The defeat against Cagliari definitively extinguished their hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League, turning what was supposed to be a year of confirmation into one of the heaviest disappointments in recent times for the Rossoneri world. An objective considered fundamental slipped away amid mistakes, missed opportunities, and a fragility that consistently emerged in the decisive moments of the league campaign.
The feeling is that Milan lost themselves precisely when they needed to take the next step in quality. Yesterday’s match was yet another demonstration of this: a team lacking clarity, incapable of reacting to difficulties, and far too vulnerable mentally. These are limitations that dragged on throughout the entire season and prevented the Rossoneri from maintaining the level required to remain among Europe’s elite. For a club aiming to stay permanently at the top, failure to qualify for the Champions League represents far more than a simple setback.
The reaction from the surrounding environment was immediate. The supporters’ protests are aimed above all at the club’s management, which has come under fire for decisions considered insufficient to build a truly competitive squad. Calls for major changes are growing, and the atmosphere around the club suggests that the summer could bring a genuine revolution. From corporate strategies to technical decisions, everything now seems destined to be reassessed. Because Milan, after a season concluded without even the minimum objective, cannot afford to stand still.
This morning, Corriere dello Sport offers an extensive analysis of the Rossoneri: “Milan, the disaster is complete.” And further: "Cagliari win through Borrelli and Rodriguez, Allegri ends with the Europa League."
