An unusual evening for Milan, who today, for one of the first times this season, are playing on a midweek day. In a year without European competitions, the Rossoneri have been able to benefit from entire weeks of training, and it’s certainly no coincidence that Allegri’s team is so high up in the standings.

Tonight, however, Fabregas’ Como arrives at San Siro, coming off a tough home defeat against Fiorentina. It’s a hugely important match for the Devil, who must respond to Inter. The Nerazzurri, in fact, are currently 8 points ahead of their cousins, so—if Milan fails to win—it could really be time to start talking about a title race runaway.
The Larians, on the other hand, are dreaming of the Champions League. By taking all three points today, Cesc’s impressive youngsters would move just 3 points away from fourth place, currently held by Roma.

💥 Tare: “Bastoni case? It’s not good for football. Leao and the title…”

“Decisive for the title tonight? Absolutely not, it’s a three-point match. Leao has been much better physically over the last 10 days. The problem is still there but he’s much better. Bastoni-Kalulu? Things from the past, they’ll happen again in the future. It’s not like they just end. Obviously, these things aren’t good for football, we all need to be smart enough to take a step back and try to give referees peace of mind so they can do their job in the best possible way.”
🧨 Fabregas: “We’re not a team built to play every 3 days. False 9? Everyone!”
Cesc Fabregas spoke to DAZN before the Milan-Como match.
“If we need to motivate them on a night like this, we have a problem… (Laughs, ed.). We’re a small squad, not built to play every 3 days. We’ve been playing every 3-4 days for 2 months. Today is the most important, but we can’t forget that we play again in 65 hours. Caqueret? Everyone plays a bit as a false nine. In the end, it’s about trying to create space that’s useful to hurt Milan. We need to attack the depth, have good positional play, and be dangerous when we have the ball.”
The official lineups:
MILAN (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, De Winter, Pavlović; Athekame, Jashari, Modrić, Ricci, Bartesaghi; Nkunku, Leão.
