Ordine states Milan are ‘out’ of the Champions League race after Atalanta defeat | OneFootball

Atalanta’s victory against AC Milan was the final straw for some fans and media personnel, and today, Franco Ordine has offered his view on the season with the Rossoneri trailing behind at present.

In a season where a Scudetto push looked heavily unlikely anyway, Friday night’s result in Bergamo has knocked the steam out of Milan for many, and even a Champions League place seems difficult to achieve, which is bad news for the head coach.

The Rossoneri reside in 7th, nine points away from the sides sitting among the European places, and it will take a lot for that gap to be lessened over the course of the season.

For this reason, Ordine believes that there is no chance that the Diavolo can still be considered as a team fighting for a Champions League spot, and when speaking to Pressing, he admitted this much alongside some other damning statements, and his words have been relayed by Milan News.

“Fonseca’s reaction in Bergamo is the confirmation that Milan have not only dropped out of the Scudetto fight but now also out of the race towards the Champions League, which is the only thing that can save his bench at the end of the season.

“He made this shot, I don’t know if it was agreed with the club, but talking with the directors it emerged that the club is on his side regarding the episode of Atalanta’s first goal.

“I, however, agree with Morata, Milan did not lose because of the referee, but because they continue to be immature, unreliable and indefensible. If you have these characteristics where do you want to go?’”
