In the aftermath of AC Milan’s disappointing 3-1 defeat to Liverpool in their Champions League opener, the club’s leadership held an important meeting at San Siro to discuss the team’s future, particularly that of manager Paulo Fonseca. Calciomercato report how the meeting, which took place in the bowels of the stadium, involved Senior Advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sporting Director Geoffrey Moncada, and CEO Giorgio Furlani. The loss to Liverpool has reignited the crisis within the Rossoneri camp, which had only briefly been quelled by their 4-0 victory over Venezia. San Siro echoed with boos and chants of discontent as the team appeared to…
Christian Pulisic’s goal three minutes into the game gave the very brief impression that AC Milan could be in for a good night against Liverpool, but it all went downhill from there. La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes how that goal was a complete illusion, because from the 15th minute of the first half Milan returned to being that listless and disorganised team seen at the end of last season, a group of players without soul or character. There are many ways to lose games, but it feels like when it happens for the Rossoneri it is always…
AC Milan failed to get a good result ahead of the Derby della Madonnina as Liverpool prevailed yet again at San Siro, this time 1-3. Several players struggled, with only a few doing okay, and below are the ratings for the Rossoneri. Starting XI Maignan (5): He was rescued by the bar twice, made some good stops, but arguably should have done a lot better on the first goal. There’s no doubt about that, but he also could have got some more help on the second (or should he have come out there too?). Made a big save at the start…
AC Milan senior advisor, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, refused to comment on whether the club made a last-minute attempt to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli. Osimhen recently joined Turkish Super Lig champions, Galatasaray on a season-long loan deal. Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli and Chelsea were the clubs better known in the days leading up to the transfer deadline day in the race to sign the Nigeria international. Italian news outlet, AS Tuttosport, reported of a possible attempt by AC Milan to sign the powerful striker. When he was asked on the matter, Ibrahimovic responded, ”I won’t comment” accompanied with a sly…
Paulo Fonseca has slammed his Milan side for ‘poor defending’ and ‘choice choices’ after a horrendous 3-1 loss to Liverpool. The Rossoneri stuttered again as the pressure mounts on the Portuguese manager ahead of Sunday’s Derby della Madonnina. A 4-0 thumping of Venezia at the weekend was seemingly a one-off. Milan swiftly returned to their chaotic state in their opening Champions League match against Arne Slot’s well-organized line-up. Despite taking an early lead through Christian Pulisic, Fonseca’s team looked disjointed and without a clear game plan again. That’s not to mention Milan conceded twice from set-pieces in the first…
LIVERPOOL STRUTTED to a 3-1 win at AC Milan on Tuesday as the Reds got their campaign in the revamped Champions League off to a stylish start. Arne Slot’s team reacted superbly to going behind to an early Christian Pulisic goal and ended up cruising to the three points thanks to strikes from Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai. Fashion Week got underway in Milan on Tuesday and it was the away team who made all of the slick moves at the San Siro in a clash of European football royalty. Liverpool and Milan have…
Lorenzo Torriani made his professional debut for Milan in their 2024-25 Champions League opener against Liverpool at San Siro, replacing the injured Mike Maignan at the beginning of the second half. The 19-year-old backup goalkeeper had never played a professional game for the Rossoneri before, despite coming through the club’s youth ranks since his childhood. Torriani got his first call-up for the first team back in May 2024 under Stefano Pioli, but he emerged as one of the most interesting Milan prospects during their pre-season tour in the United States, with some impressive displays against the likes of Barcelona,…
Milan fumbled the ideal start to their Champions League opener with Christian Pulisic, collapsing to a 3-1 home defeat against Liverpool with a new Mike Maignan injury scare. The Rossoneri had struggled so far under new coach Paulo Fonseca, but were boosted by a 4-0 victory over Venezia on Saturday and the return of Alvaro Morata, Fikayo Tomori and Davide Calabria from injury. Malick Thiaw, Ismael Bennacer, Alessandro Florenzi and Marco Sportiello were still out of action. Liverpool won their first three matches under Arne Slot, but lost to Nottingham Forest at the weekend and made changes. The Reds…
A lot of folks are worried about the Orioles offense. The unit is in a prolonged slump, and is almost entirely reliant on what Gunnar Henderson can do in order to score runs. It’s not fun! Such significant struggles from the lineup have allowed the team’s pitching staff to fly under the radar, and that’s a shame because there is actually a lot to like right now. From June 15 through the end of August, the Orioles were one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball. Their 4.88 ERA was 29th in MLB (although their 4.37 xERA and 4.25 xFIP…
Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali recently spoke to Sky Sports about his journey through gambling addiction and the personal transformation he has undergone since serving his suspension for betting-related offenses. The former AC Milan player, who has just returned to action, shared insights into his newfound perspective on life and football. Tonali began by reflecting on his past behavior: “Before the mistake, I had two lives because I was very closed off and never talked to people, even on the training ground, even with the staff. Now it’s totally different. Every day is different, especially with the staff and my…
