The next one at San Siro against Monza will only serve the Rossoneri fans: a heavy protest against the team and the club has already been announced. Rome, once again, offered the last remaining chances of European qualification: appeal trial failed.
The last time was almost ten years ago: in 2015–16, Milan finished seventh and without access to international competitions. It also happened in the summer of 2019: not due to sporting failures, but as a result of a ruling by the CAS, with the team excluded from Europe (earned on the pitch at the end of the previous season) for having violated financial fair play rules.
It’s also already over for Conceição: sent off at the Olimpico, he insulted the referee Piccinini while leaving the pitch.
A suspension seems inevitable: he won’t take part in the final matchday. Sergio never hid and didn’t do so last night either:
n the second away match in Rome this week, Milan was not much different from the first version
They lacked conviction, once again found themselves chasing the game, and showed all the tension and nervousness of these days: Gimenez’s elbow, beyond its similarity to Beukema’s one on Gabbia — which went unsanctioned in the Coppa Italia final — was a red card.
The mistakes are repeated and, ironically, Conceição is sent off against Roma just like Fonseca was in the first leg. For Paulo Fonseca, the sacking came just a few hours later. Sergio will close the season with the last, meaningless match. But in fact, his Rossoneri adventure is over too.
