The hosts, who suffered a third consecutive defeat in Serie A, endured a hostile atmosphere from their own fans, who protested against the club’s owners, with the Curva Sud stand empty for the first 15 minutes. We discussed the atmosphere and this is the first time I’ve experienced this in my career. Mistakes weigh heavier under such conditions,” Conceicao told DAZN. “I was a player, I know when it’s like that, your boots feel like they’re burning. When a dribble or a pass doesn’t work or you’re behind, it burns even more,” he added. Matters worsened when Mattia Zaccagni put…
AC Milan take on Lazio at San Siro tonight hoping to put a bad couple of weeks behind them to ease some of the pressure that surrounds the club. The season is threatening to spiral out of control for Milan, given recent results. The 2-1 defeat against Torino was followed by a loss to Bologna on Thursday night, and that means the Rossoneri are now eight points away from the Champions League places. Lazio are right in the hunt for a top four spot and that means tonight’s game still harbours a lot of significance, and it could just reignite…
Manchester City will have a busy summer of players coming in and departing the club during the upcoming summer transfer window. There are a host of positions that City could look to improve during the summer. The most pressing needs appear to be in midfield, at right-back and possibly another centre-back. But a new report indicates that AC Milan defender Theo Hernandez could be a potential target for Manchester City. While Hernandez is a fine player and primarily plays at left-back is that a move City will explore in the summer? That appears unlikely on closer inspection. Rudy Galetti has…
AC Milan’s dreadful season took yet another bitter turn as they were beaten right at the death by Lazio, losing 2-1 at San Siro. Lazio took the lead in the first half when Mattia Zaccagni was on hand to fire home a rebound from Adam Murisic’s shot, and then when Strahinja Pavlovic got a straight red card midway through the second half it looked like game over. Milan roared back with ten men and actually equalised through Samuel Chukwueze’s header inside the final 10 minutes, and yet there was time for a late sting as Mike Maignan was adjudged to…
Substitutes Alexis Saelemaekers and Artem Dovbyk completed the Roma comeback against 10-man Como after a Lucas Da Cunha opener for a fourth straight Serie A win. The Giallorossi were unbeaten since their last meeting with Como, a 2-0 defeat on December 15, managing seven Serie A victories and three draws.

Como were coming off back-to-back wins over Fiorentina and Napoli, but Alberto Dossena, Ivan Azon and Ignace van der Brempt were injured, with coach Cesc Fabregas sitting out a…
Former Milan and Roma coach Paulo Fonseca reportedly risks a seven-month ban after going head-to-head with a referee in today’s Olympique Lyonnais match. Fonseca was hired by Milan over the summer of 2024 and fired on December 30 to make way for Sergio Conceicao. The tactician had overseen only 24 matches, namely 12 victories, six draws and six defeats, but had already managed to rage at referees in Serie A too. He was not out of work for very long, appointed by Olympique Lyonnais on January 31. It has been a mixed bag in Lyon too, as the Portuguese coach…
Pedro’s penalty in second-half stoppage time piled more pressure on AC Milan boss Sergio Conceicao as Lazio walked away 2-1 victors from a hostile San Siro on Sunday.

Ahead of the game, Milan ultras had left their sector empty until the 15th minute in protest about the club’s form, but returned in time to see Mattia Zaccagni put Lazio ahead. Adam Marusic saw his effort saved by Milan captain Mike Maignan, but Zaccagni slammed home the…

AC Milan coach Sergio Conceicao admits the players are being affected by the issues around the club. Milan were beaten at home by Lazio on Sunday, with the Curva Sud protesting against the players and ownership. “It is not an easy moment, we know that. The players feel what is around the club. There is only one path forward, to work, to have pride for the colours we defend and give our all every day to change this situation,” Conceicao told DAZN. “I don’t like talking about bad luck, but there are also incidents that keep happening and are negative…
Milan defender Matteo Gabbia admits the situation is ‘obviously bad’ in the locker room after a third straight defeat left them ninth in Serie A.
