"This season, dreams of a Scudetto are manifesting more and AC Milan cannot avoid them anymore. It is a very tangible goal. In the summer, Milan stated that they wanted to return to the Champions League. A feasible goal indeed, keeping themselves grounded and not aiming too high, nor making fans ask for too much of them. Now, with questions about the Scudetto, they are not shying away from it. In fact, Davide Bartesaghi suggested that it was one of the squad's aims now."
"As Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes, Massimiliano Allegri had a nearly perfect month in charge of the Rossoneri. The win against Lazio saw his team end November with a 2.33 points per game record, all whilst gaining ground over their rivals. Sacrifice, unity and cohesion were demanded from him, and he got it, squeezing everything out of his squad with limited options available. The players themselves also deserve recognition: Mike Maignan's saves, Luka Modric's leadership and Rafael Leao's goals."
"The signs of Allegri's work are clear. In just a few months, his team were transformed into a title contender, miles away from the team that underwhelmed heavily last season. It started from the back for the Italian, fixing a broken defence and then adding traits moving forward. Whilst mistakes still occur, they are less damaging than they have been previously, and far less common."
AC Milan are realistic Scudetto contenders as on-field performances and results have made the title a tangible objective. Massimiliano Allegri delivered a near-perfect month, with the Lazio win taking the team to a 2.33 points-per-game November while gaining ground on rivals. Allegri prioritized sacrifice, unity and cohesion, extracting more from a limited squad. Key contributions have come from Mike Maignan's saves, Luka Modric's leadership and Rafael Leao's goals. Defensive repairs reduced costly errors and boosted mental strength. Milan accrued 20 points from eight top-team matches but stumbled against smaller sides, taking only two points from Cremonese, Pisa and Parma; Allegri remains confident.
