Barcelona returned to the top of the LaLiga table with a 4-0 rout of 10-man Real Sociedad. Atletico had assumed pole position on Saturday after city rivals Real Madrid suffered a shock defeat at Real Betis. But Barca had no such issues at home to their mid-table opponents, who had Aritz Elustondo sent off in only the 17th minute for what was deemed a last-man foul on Dani Olmo. Brilliant play from Lamine Yamal helped set up defender Gerard Martin for his first career goal in the 25th minute and – four minutes later – Marc Casado added the second.…
The Sporting Judge has announced that Mike Maignan will be suspended for one game for something that happened after the Lazio match. With the press release from the Sporting Judge which was released this afternoon, some surprise news emerged: Maignan has been suspended for one match and will miss the away match in Lecce scheduled for Saturday 8 March at 18:00 CET.

AC Milan are ready to implement a new revolution given the disastrous season that the club are experiencing, with several big changes planned. Corriere dello Sport report that the premature exit from the Champions League and being ninth place in the league at present has forced the club to reflect deeply on the corporate structure that has made the most important decisions in the last year. The main responsibility for the disappointing year lies with the ‘working group’ composed of senior advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic, CEO Giorgio Furlani and technical director Geoffrey Moncada, those who have made the most delicate decisions…
Former Milan coach Stefano Pioli says that he is ‘sorry’ for ‘my players’ in the midst of an underwhelming run of form for the Rossoneri, which has left them in ninth place in the Serie A table and at risk of missing out on European football next season. Milan are currently on 41 points after 27 matches of the 2024-25 season, which has put them in ninth place in the Serie A standings, 11 points shy of the Champions League positions and 17 off their rivals Inter at the top of the league table. With three consecutive 2-1 defeats in…
Milan and Inter are expected to send their economic plans to build a new stadium in San Siro today, according to Milan Mayor Beppe Sala, and if the clubs’ bid is successful, construction work will likely begin in 2027. Milan Mayor Beppe Sala expects an offer and an economic plan for the San Siro area from Milan and Inter today. This past October, the Italian Tax Office valued the stadium and the surrounding space at circa €200m. “I hope the clubs will submit the offer and the economic plan today,” Sala told RTL 102.5 via Gazzetta. “The law states that…
AC Milan are interested in signing centre-back Koni De Winter and could make their move ahead of the summer window, a report claims. There are some doubts about the future of Milan’s defensive department given that Strahinja Pavlovic and Fikayo Tomori were both linked with January exits but chose to stay, while Malick Thiaw has been the subject of interest from abroad. According to the latest from SportMediaset, Genoa declined an offer from Saudi Arabia for De Winter in the winter mercato. Milan and some of the Premier League’s top clubs have been interested in the Belgian defender for some…
AC Milan are likely to be looking for a new head coach in the summer, and Roberto De Zerbi’s name has reportedly resurfaced as an option. According to Calciomercato.com, Sergio Conceicao knows he has little, if any, hope of remaining at Milan beyond the end of this season, so he has 11 games to end on a high. The idea of the Milan directors is to get to the end of the season with the former Porto man on the bench, then change again. With Milan out of the Champions League and in ninth place, the only goal left is…
Liverpool are considering an approach for AC Milan’s Rafael Leao, after AC Milan set an enticing price tag for him amid Barcelona interest, TEAMtalk can reveal. In December, AC Milan received an official approach from Barcelona, which communicated to the Rossoneri their desire to open negotiations with Leao for the summer. Now that the Champions League seems like a mirage for the Italian club, the Rossoneri are oriented towards the idea of financing the summer market by selling the most important pieces of the team. As we have already reported, Theo Hernandez is destined to leave – with Man City,…
The atmosphere at San Siro during the defeat to Lazio on Sunday night made it clear that the patience is over for the AC Milan fans. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes this morning, when San Siro applauds a player who has been sent off and boos most of the rest of the team, you understand that something is wrong, even beyond results. In Strahinja Pavlovic, the Milan fans have recognised – even despite his mistakes and limitations – the desire and determination of someone who puts everything in for the shirt, even at the risk of sometimes…
Tijjani Reijnders has expressed his delight after renewing his contract with AC Milan and he insisted that things will get better on the field. Since arriving in the 2023 summer transfer window from AZ Alkmaar, there have been few players to perform as consistently as Reijnders. He has even kicked on to become one of the best midfielders in Europe this season, from a goal scoring point of view. For this reason, there has been a lot of interest in the 26-year-old, from top clubs around Europe. Yet Milan, perhaps sensing this, moved to lock down the midfielder ahead of…
