"With the attack becoming even worse than it was previously, AC Milan needed the defence to carry them to the finish line and they aren't. It is simple, Milan needed the backline to offer a bit of assertion in the final weeks of the campaign. Continue what they had been doing all season and help the team finish in the Champions League positions."
"However, they have faded. Five goals conceded in their last two games paint a picture which no one wants to see finished. Unfortunately, it appears that the damage may already be done and the masterpiece may not be salvageable."
"Gazzetta dello Sport's criticism is heavy, stating that the defence was the 'only real certainty' within the Rossoneri's season. Now, it is gone, though. Indeed, it has collapsed at the worst possible moment and now there is not a piece to rely on in this team."
"Before the past two games, Massimiliano Allegri's team boasted the second best defence in Europe. That is not done by chance. However, old habits have been highlighted once again and Massimiliano Allegri's work has been undone. Basic errors, lapses in concentration, everything which had seemingly been erased."
AC Milan needed their defense to stabilize results in the final weeks to secure Champions League positions. The team has faded, conceding five goals across the last two games. Criticism centers on the defense, previously described as the only real certainty in the season. Earlier in the campaign, Massimiliano Allegri’s side had the second-best defense in Europe, achieved through consistent work. In recent matches, basic errors and lapses in concentration have returned, undoing earlier progress. With the defensive foundations of a Champions League return collapsing, the team’s chances of returning to Europe this season appear to be fading as well.
