"Milan suffered a bitter exit from the Coppa Italia in the round of 16 against Lazio that once again highlighted various shortcomings in the squad, especially given that Allegri chose to make five changes and didn't get the right answers from most. A remarkable coincidence Milan started the season by losing to Cremonese, while Napoli did the same last season with a 3-0 defeat away from home against Hellas Verona."
"Are you superstitious? Napoli also lost to Lazio in the Coppa Italia round of 16... "No, I can feel the negative people immediately. It's still a long way off... Do you know how many times Milan have won in Turin in the last twelve years? Just the year of COVID. We'll face a very difficult match, let's try to prepare well.""
AC Milan's season shows notable parallels with Napoli's 2024-25 campaign, including an opening loss and a Coppa Italia round-of-16 exit to Lazio. Milan exited the Coppa Italia after a round-of-16 defeat by Lazio that exposed squad shortcomings, with Massimiliano Allegri making five changes that failed to produce the right answers. Milan began the season with a loss to Cremonese, mirroring Napoli's opening defeat to Hellas Verona last season. A 19-man squad heavy with youngsters limits Milan's ability to compete on multiple fronts. Allegri expressed lack of superstition, noted negative voices, and emphasized preparing for difficult upcoming matches while hoping to finish the season similarly to Conte's side last year.
