AC Milan’s huge failure

Beaten at home by Cagliari (1-2), AC Milan misses qualification for the next Champions League. The last two tickets are for Roma and Como.

This is the disaster scenario for AC Milan. Third in the standings before the last day, the Lombard club found a way not to qualify for the next Champions League. The Rossoneri only had to beat Cagliari, but they conceded at San Siro against the Sardinian club (1-2).

Alexis Saelemaekers’ opening score in the 2nd minute foreshadowed a great evening. But AC Milan, following a very sluggish end to the season (three defeats in the last four days), has liquefied. Borrelli (20th) and Rodriguez (57th) are the executioners of Massimiliano Allegri’s team.

The collapse of AC Milan benefits Como which, like AS Roma, victorious in Verona (0-2), secures its ticket to the C1. The formation of Cesc Fabregas won on the field of Cremonese (1-4) and is therefore invited to the Champions League two years after its rise from Serie B.

In this exciting final sprint, the other loser is Juventus, whose match was postponed by an hour due to incidents around the stadium. Whatever the result of the derby against Torino, the Old Lady will not be able to finish in the Top 4.
