"This weekend's result may have proved that AC Milan can be a Scudetto contender this season. It is early, but they have a chance. A 2-1 win is not necessarily the mark of champions in some respects. Perhaps winning by a few goals may be, but a narrow win may not be the defining result for many. However, this morning, Gazzetta dello Sport suggested it may have been."
"It starts with a reaction. After all, Milan were behind in the game and got themselves level and then ahead. This is without even considering the lack of players that were available to Massimiliano Allegri. A display of heart and character, indeed. Against Udinese, Allegri was left annoyed by the Rossoneri's lack of first moves, despite them being 3-0 up."
"The next points relate to the defence and attack. At the back, the goal conceded was a bit sloppy, but it was the only threat of the game, and it was due to internal mistakes, rather than them being outplayed. Going forward, any player has the opportunity to score, as Strahinja Pavlovic and Fikayo Tomori scored. Chance creation is easy for the Diavolo; they just must be more ruthless."
AC Milan produced a resilient 2-1 win that indicates potential Scudetto contention, despite the early stage of the season. The team overturned a deficit to draw level and then take the lead, showing heart and character while coping with absences. Defensive lapses produced the lone conceded goal and were internal mistakes rather than being outplayed. Multiple players contributed offensively, with Strahinja Pavlovic and Fikayo Tomori among those who scored, and chance creation appears plentiful. The squad recognizes strengths and areas for improvement and understands the coach's demands, suggesting ongoing focus and the capacity to become more ruthless in converting opportunities.
