"Allegri continues to preach calm, keeping his eye on the gap to fifth in the table (currently seven points) and repeating the mantra of returning to the Champions League being the number on objective for 2025-26. A win against Gian Piero Gasperini, however, wouldn't just be a huge step forward toward returning to the top European competition. Rather, it would fuel the Scudetto dream. Scudetto, a word considered taboo in public statements, but much more alive behind closed doors."
"For Sunday night's gladiatorial clash against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, Massimiliano Allegri will be able to call upon his main warriors. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes, Allegri considers the match in the capital to be a potential turning point in the season. The feeling is that the match at the Stadio Olimpico is truly a crossroads capable of shifting perspectives."
Allegri remains calm while targeting a return to the Champions League for 2025-26 and watching the seven-point gap to fifth place. The Roma match is seen as a potential turning point that could both reignite Champions League momentum and privately bolster Scudetto aspirations. Milan expects to field a typical lineup after a mini-rotation, with Luka Modric deployed in the regista role. Strahinja Pavlovic returns after a head injury that required nine stitches and after missing Como and Lecce. Pavlovic previously decided the reverse fixture, and his availability restores the starting defensive trio including Fikayo Tomori.
