"AC Milan may be eight points behind Inter in the table, but they still believe that they can catch their city rivals and win the Scudetto. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write this morning, Massimiliano Allegri will likely talk about a Milan team that cannot fail in its mission to return to the Champions League during his press conference today, on the eve of the rescheduled game against Como at San Siro."
"Naturally, after last year's eighth-place finish and a season out of European competitions, finishing in the top four has been the primary objective set since the summer. Max reminds us of this in practically every interview he does. The standings show the Rossoneri as Inter's only rivals. By beating Cesc Fabregas's team, Milan would return to within five points of top. They would have a six-point advantage over Napoli in theird, nine over fourth-placed Roma, and a whopping ten over fifth-placed Juventus."
"Yet, regardless of the result, Inter-Juve confirmed to Milan that 'it can be done'. Why? First of all, the Nerazzurri showed their usual difficulties in big matches. While it's true that Chivu's team has collected 12 wins and a draw in the last 13 games, thus creating a gap, it shouldn't be forgotten how they were held to a draw by Napoli at home."
AC Milan sit eight points behind Inter but believe they can close the gap and contend for the Scudetto while prioritizing Champions League qualification. Manager Massimiliano Allegri emphasizes the objective of finishing in the top four after last season's eighth-place finish and absence from European competition. A win over Cesc Fabregas’s team would reduce the deficit to five points and strengthen Milan's hold over Napoli, Roma and Juventus in the race for Champions League spots. Inter's occasional struggles in big matches and recent draws suggest the title remains attainable for Milan.
