"As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write this morning, the day after the 1-1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico there's still bitterness from a match that, given how it unfolded, could and should have been won. Without the penalty awarded for Davide Bartesaghi's handball, Allegri and his men are convinced the Giallorossi wouldn't have scored. Luka Modric said so in the heat of the moment in his post-match comments, and the former Ballon d'Or's analysis is shared by the dressing room."
"Despite being five points behind Inter, that dressing room isn't exhausted. The coach's line is 'the objective is a place in next season's Champions League', but it's hard to imagine players accustomed to winning like Modric, Adrien Rabiot and the others would be entirely satisfied with that. The key remains to get as many points as possible and, if Inter slows down, be ready for anything. The only way to achieve this, however, is to fix the things that aren't working right now."
"They're coming off a run of 21 unbeaten games in a row, but have been held to three draws in the last five matches. That is too many to dream of a second star, but with 16 games to play, no one is throwing in the towel. In 2026, Milan have played six competitive matches so far, all in the league. Only once, away to Como, did they score more than one goal."
A 1-1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico left lingering bitterness, with Milan convinced Roma's goal depended on a penalty for Davide Bartesaghi's handball. Luka Modric and teammates share the view that the penalty changed the match outcome. Milan sit five points behind Inter but remain focused on securing a Champions League place while still aiming higher. The team must address current flaws after being held to three draws in five matches despite a 21-game unbeaten run. In 2026 Milan scored more than once only once in six league games, highlighting a need for improved attacking output.
