The Supercoppa in Riyadh sent a clear message to the club. Massimiliano Allegri is already pushing the squad beyond its limits, keeping Milan in second place in the league with a performance that borders on miraculous. Yet, the standings, flattering as they may be, do not hide an obvious reality: this Rossoneri club, given its squad quality and depth, cannot continue like this. The team is seriously playing with fire.
A miracle built on fragile foundations:
The semi-final against Napoli once again highlighted the team’s structural limits. Up front, the Nkunku-Pulisic pairing had virtually no offensive impact: lots of movement, but no real presence in the box, no ability to break down organized defenses. Without a proper striker, Allegri's team struggles to convert collective work into concrete danger. Allegri tries to compensate with order, balance, and pragmatism, but he cannot keep inventing solutions for what the squad lacks. This is why Milan is pushing hard for Niclas Fullkrug, but can the German really solve the team’s problems?
Reinforcements are necessary to keep the bar high at Milanello
The problems are not limited to the attack. In defense, the absence of a starter like Matteo Gabbia exposed Koni De Winter, who struggled against a physical forward like Hojlund. The concerning fact is that just three or four absences (whether by choice or necessity) can significantly lower the team’s level. Without adequate alternatives, the risk is compromising not only the title race, which for now is 'just' the Scudetto, but also the battle for fourth place, the lifeline of this Milan as defined by Allegri. Riyadh should serve as a warning: to continue this miraculous run, at least two real reinforcements are needed, a reliable central striker and a ready defender. Immediately. This was relayed via those at Milan News.
