AC Milan will make the short trip up to the lake this evening to take on their Lombardy neighbours Como in a Serie A contest they simply must win.
The scene was nicely set for the visit of Cagliari on Saturday: the Supercoppa Italiana trophy was presented before kick-off, and with both Lazio and Juventus dropping points there was a chance to take a step towards the Champions League places.
However, as they so often have this season, Milan stumbled when they couldn’t afford to. The end result was a 1-1 draw, after which Sergio Conceicao was far from impressed.
La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Rashford first choice. First Milan offer to Manchester United. Conceiçao changes the Diavolo.”
Corriere dello Sport: “Milan: Walker in their hands. At 18:30 the battle with Como. Ibrahimovic awaits a response from Rashford.”
-Tuttosport: “Milan, Como call.”
QS: “Conceicao cannot falter. Rashford-Walker, market crossroads.”
