Milan face their final away match of 2025-26 at lunchtime, with the fixture against Genoa framed as the biggest game of the season. A recent collapse reduced an eight-point advantage over fifth place to zero, leaving Milan needing results in their last two matches. The immediate requirement is to win to secure a Champions League place. A recent record of two wins in eight games suggests six points from the final two fixtures may be difficult. Genoa are managed by Daniele De Rossi, adding emotional context for the opponent. Multiple teams are also competing for top four, including Napoli, Juventus, Como, and Roma, increasing the stakes of the midday kick-offs.
"AC Milan will play their final away game of 2025-26 this lunchtime, and it also happens to be their biggest game of the season. After a collapse over the past couple of months saw an eight-point gap above fifth place trimmed to zero, Milan's equation for the final two fixtures against Genoa and Cagliari is quite simple: win to secure a Champions League place."
"However, a run of two wins in eight games suggests that taking six points from six to end the campaign will be easier said than done. Not only that, but Daniele De Rossi is in charge of today's opponents, and he would surely like to help his beloved Roma."
"The newspapers in Italy this morning are aware of the magnitude of the 12:00 CEST kick-offs, which involve the four other teams fighting for top four too (Napoli, Juventus, Como and Roma)."
"Corriere dello Sport: "Champions League midday. Five-way race for three spots: a place worth €70m. A shaken Milan at De Rossi's house. Allegri: 'Ibra? I've had worse fights'.""
