While Internazionale is going against Como's last Serie A match, they still have a chance to win the Scudetto, and only a week later they will contend the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.
The loss of Milan in Roma does not mean European football in 2025/26
AC Milan, on the other hand, who were humiliated by Roma on Sunday evening 3-1, does not even get the chance to play European football next season after that loss against the Giallorossi, left them with too much a hole to make up for the last weekend of the campaign.
Since October 2019, Roma Milan had not beaten the competition, with a series of 10 consecutive games without success against the Rossoneri in the competition (4D, 6L).
The direct free kick of Leandro Paredes – his first since 3 May 2023 (vs Lecce with Juventus) – was the choice of the couple, and all the last six goals he scored in Serie A are from a set of piece (two direct free kicks, four penalties).
The disappointment of losing a European campaign in 2025/26 is hot on the heels of a definitive loss of Coppa Italia for Bologna, whose 1-0 win gave them their first major trophy in 51 years.
For the Rossoneri that was another kick in the teeth, and it almost certainly signals the end of Sergio Conukicao's term of office on the bank.
Who would like to manage the Rossoneri now?
The issue for one of the most legendary clubs in Italian football is who will take over what a poisoned chalice has become of a job?
Only three Italian Top-Flight titles This century (2003/04, 2010/11 and 2021/22) speak of a club in almost terminal decline. Indeed, with only that one match in 2024/25, Milan is a larger 18 points behind the team with whom they share their stadium, and 19 behind probable champions Napoli.
For a team that is the third most successful in terms of the competition titles won, that is a shame, although it seems to be a number of problems that have contributed to where things have gone wrong in recent seasons.
Financially it is fair to suggest that there has been a real lack of stability since Li Yonghong bought the club from Silvio Berlusconi, the former Italian Prime Minister, in 2017.
“Milan has now started this path to China,” said Berlusconi at the time, said about the sale of a club that he had had for more than three decades.
Financial problems have had a domino effect on transfers
Unfortunately for all involved it would not be long before Elliott Advisors (now known as Elliott Investment Management) took over.
In 2018 they called on a debt that Li Yonghong had given notice of default, and despite a reasonable amount of them afterwards they also sold the club, this time to Redbird Capital Partners in 2022 for € 1.2 billion.
What this of course meant in practice is that there has not been much to transfer funds in the Kitty, hence why purchases from players such as the 32 -year -old Alvaro Morata (six goals in 25 games) – and who went to Galatasaray within six months – and the 34 -year -old Kyle Walker – who return to the man from a disastfale.
Although decisions such as the removal of a club legend such as Paolo Maldini as a director went well with the Curva Sud, the famous Ultra supporters of Milan who had little respect for the elegant left back, the message that it sends elsewhere has lost its identity.
A club that winds from one crisis to another.
Could Zlatan be the problem?
Management of Stefano Pioli can at least point out a title profit during his term of office, although that is the only clear place in a recent and never -ending gloom.
Paulo Fonseca was seen as a kind of savior, but he only lasted six months as a former ACE, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, now a senior adviser to the owners and who clearly held a special place in the hearts of all Milanistas, bows his muscles in the director's room.
Unfortunately for the pronounced Swede, his choice for the replacement of Fonseca, Conukicao, did the little better and the typical Bullish interview of Zlatan at the beginning of the current campaign where he announced: “I am the boss and I am the leadership, all others work for me,” left him with egg on his face.
When Fonseca was fired at the end of last year, Milan was in the eighth position and eight points under a Champions League place. Milan is currently in ninth position and seven points of the UCL with one game to play.
Felix and Gimenez have been disappointments
On the field what a well -oiled and well -drilled machine should be, often just like a set of chickens without a head without an instruction.
For example, an assumed world leaf in Joao Felix has certainly not fulfilled the hype.
A goal in 16 games, nine of which were as starter, shows that the Portuguese would never be the answer. To be honest, the board could not have done due diligence, because if they have looked at how enigmatic the player had become during Stints in Barcelona and Chelsea, they would never have gone somewhere nearby, and certainly not at the expense of players who are willing to put in a team.
Rafa Leao has at least ensured that his figures – 11 goals and 10 assists – are much more acceptable, but he too is flattered to mislead during the big moments.
Santiago Gimenez did not really have the impact that everyone had expected after his switch from Feyenoord, while Theo Hernandez has started something of liability on the left.
In short, there is so much to do to bring the Rossoneri back to the upper table of Domestic and European football, and it is not only Rome that was not built in a day.
What happens next is the gamble.
