"AC Milan are in a much better place than they were 12 months ago, heading into the new year second in the table and in a title fight for now. The fact that Milan have not lost a league game since the first round against Cremonese shows a new-found solidity, and the Scudetto dream is beginning to grow, especially without any European or cup competitions to worry about."
"Minutes played 1. Modric - 1,392 2. Saelemaekers - 1,379 3. Pavlovic - 1,372 Questions have been raised about whether Milan might have an over-reliance on Modric at the age of 40 and whether his performance levels might drop as a result of over-use. The fact he is one of three players to total over 1,300 minutes suggest they are justified."
"Christian Pulisic scored 15 goals across all competitions in his first season and 17 last season. He has 10 this season, and eight of them have come in the league. He has a genuine shot at the Capocannoniere, if he can stay healthy. After Leao, the rest of the goals are spread nicely. Assists 1. Pulisic, Saelemaekers, Nkunku, Modric, Rabiot, Ricci, Tomori - 2 2. Leao, Pavlovic, Fofana, Loftus-Cheek, Estupinan - 1"
AC Milan sit second in Serie A and remain unbeaten in the league since the first-round loss to Cremonese, showing increased defensive solidity. The absence of European and cup fixtures provides a clearer focus on the domestic title race. The previous year featured a midseason coaching change and a chaotic January overhaul of five signings and six departures, prompting further summer changes. FBref Serie A data show Modric, Saelemaekers and Pavlovic as highest-minute players, raising concerns about reliance on 40-year-old Modric. Christian Pulisic leads league goals and is a Capocannoniere contender, while assists are spread across many players, suggesting no single chief creator.
