Despite the many points earned in head-to-head matches, the team lost ground to Inter and Napoli, also failing in the Champions League mission. It must be said: some players were unable to maintain their high standards. Christian Pulisic and Rafa Leão are just two of many negative examples in terms of performances for the Rossoneri in recent times. The season of Ardon Jashari, together with that of Pervis Estupiñán, was also not up to expectations for different reasons. Loftus-Cheek also struggled, a player who now seems to have lost his identity within this group.
The Englishman seems to have lost everything he once had: physicality, pace, positioning. A modern midfielder who, also hampered by a few too many injuries, has never managed to provide consistency for Milan. Apart from the excellent season under Pioli, when he surprisingly reached double figures in goals, Loftus has no longer been able to make an impact. In the now concluded season under Massimiliano Allegri, in 32 official appearances the former Chelsea player scored only three goals.
