A road to salvation was always seen as winning the Coppa Italia, but there is still a minuscule chance that Milan can hear the Champions League anthem at San Siro next season – something which would be huge for their year.
Financially, it would be massive, but the biggest impact would be on the fanbase, who would have something to show for this season. A sign that the Rossoneri still have life, and maybe even an inevitability for playing in Europe’s best competition.
This morning, Milan Press have looked into the situation and how the Diavolo could reach the top four, and more importantly, who needs to fall.
As it stands, Juventus and Lazio are tied on 64 points, with the former occupying that fourth place spot. However, Roma could leapfrog both on Monday with a win against Atalanta, which would take them to 66 points – something which cannot happen.
➤ Starting with the Giallorossi, they cannot get more than three points from their final games (Atalanta, Milan and Torino).
➤ Juventus cannot claim more than a point in their final two games, facing Udinese and Venezia. The same also goes for Lazio, who face Inter and Lecce.
➤ Bologna must get less than four points in the games against Fiorentina and Genoa.
➤ Finally, Fiorentina, must not get six points from their games against Venezia, Bologna and Udinese.
We then come to Milan, who need to win both of their final two games (Roma and Monza). A difficult task, out of their hands and seemingly in those of the Gods. However, it is still mathematically possible.
