Today’s edition of Repubblica headlines Milan as follows:
"Allegri ignites the Devil’s flame."
Tonight, the Rossoneri will face Como in the rescheduled 16th league match, a game they must win at all costs to close the gap on Inter, now six points ahead following yesterday’s victory over Lecce. Compared to Sunday’s match against Fiorentina, Tomori, Modric, Rabiot, Bartesaghi, and Leao will return to the starting lineup.
Yesterday morning in Borgomanero, Max Allegri carried the Olympic Flame ahead of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics. Here is his comment: "Being a torchbearer during the Flame’s journey to Milan for Milan-Cortina 2026 was a great honor and an intense emotion. The Olympic Flame embodies fundamental values such as commitment, respect, sacrifice, and team spirit, the same values that sport conveys every day, uniting people and nations. Carrying the torch represented a moment of deep human and sporting significance, a symbol of unity and continuity. Milan-Cortina 2026 will be an extraordinary opportunity for Italy to present itself to the world through the power of sport. Over the past 15 years, Milan has become one of the most important cities in the world, experiencing exponential growth, and this sporting event will give it even greater prestige."
