"Last weekend, AC Milan returned to the top of the Serie A table, this time, though, they were not alone. A first since October 2023. There is tangible proof of Massimiliano Allegri's impact on Milan available in several ways. However, the most clear is the table, where the Rossoneri sit as the lone leaders, for the first time since the start of October 2023."
"The reasoning for that position on that day was Olivier Giroud, whose heroics in goal that day saw the Diavolo sit in a place of dominance. It has taken almost 750 days, but finally, the same can be said about this team. Notably, there was a points difference then, with Stefano Pioli's side sitting on 21 points, compared to the 16 acquired so far, albeit with a game in hand. Additionally, several changes have taken place on the touchline, but more importantly, on the pitch."
"Changes in 743 days Despite Giroud's involvement on that day, Mike Maignan was the goalkeeper, and remains it at least for now. Whilst he has dipped a little in recent years, he now seems to be back at his previous level, perhaps at the worst time for the Rossoneri. Fikayo Tomori is the only other 'survivor' from the starting XI, again, the Englishman has been a little up and down. However, Allegri has revived the defender, and talks about a renewal are strengthening weekly."
AC Milan returned to the top of the Serie A table for the first time since October 2023. Olivier Giroud provided the decisive contribution on the earlier occasion, and the current squad has reached a similar position after almost 750 days. A points gap existed previously, with Stefano Pioli's side on 21 points versus Milan's 16, though Milan have played one fewer match. Several changes have occurred on the touchline and on the pitch. Mike Maignan remains the goalkeeper and appears to have regained form. Fikayo Tomori is the only other survivor from that starting XI and has been revived by Allegri. Thiaw was sold to Newcastle and Matteo Gabbia now occupies that role. The left side is contested between Theo Hernandez and Strahinja Pavlovic, with Pavlovic showing marked improvement, while uncertainty remains over Hernandez's situation. Alessandro Florenzi and Zachary Athekame are also mentioned in the squad context.
