"There's a number that's been buzzing around the AC Milan world for more than a day: 74, which is Massimiliano Allegri's obsession. As La Gazzetta dello Sport write this morning, Allegri's aim from the day that he signed his contract with Milan was very straightforward: to get into the top four and take the club back to its natural home, the Champions League."
"To be sure of finishing at least fourth, according to Allegri, 74 points are needed. His Milan team currently sit on 46, and if math is anything to go by, the Rossoneri would only need 28 points in the remaining 17 games to reach the target. It is a pace of approximately 1.64 points per game, certainly within reach for a team that has so far averaged 2.19 points per game in the league."
Massimiliano Allegri set a target of 74 points to secure a Champions League place. Milan currently have 46 points and need 28 from 17 matches, a rate of about 1.64 points per game. The team’s season average is 2.19 points per game, indicating the target is achievable. Allegri remains cautious because of a similar collapse at Juventus two years earlier when a large lead narrowed and qualification was jeopardized. Milan sit three points behind the top and seven points clear of fifth. A possible UEFA coefficient change could expand Champions League spots to five, lowering the minimum target.
