MN: Milan have three games to ‘recover’ Serie A season – the stakes and stipulations | OneFootball

There could be a present at the end of the Serie A season for AC Milan, but they are not really in control of their fate.

This season, Milan have fallen below almost every expectation set at the beginning of the season, but there is still a chance to claw back the seemingly impossible. However, it certainly will not be easy.

As Milan News writes this afternoon, there are three games to recover the year, and this regards the potential entry into Europe via the league. A difficult road yes, but the Rossoneri have some say on their own future.

Both the Champions League and Europa League sit six points away, whilst the Conference league place is five points away – which seems near impossible on the face of it. However, it really is not.

Lazio and Juventus face each other this weekend, and it could see both teams drop points – which would be an ideal, and could open up a door into the competition via the league – something which could not be turned down.

Realistically, to stand any chance of a European finish, the Diavolo must be perfect from this point onwards, so they have to beat Bologna, Roma and Monza. A difficult task, indeed.

If they fail to do so, then they will have to fall back on the Coppa Italia, which takes place on the 14th. Salvation is possible, but Milan have not made it half difficult for themselves this year.
