"In Cagliari, the Rossoneri held on to their goal once again, and not just thanks to Maignan. The defensive set-up improved, the team regained its balance, and this was crucial in securing the three points."
"[It was] A victory that highlighted Allegri's entire playing philosophy: defending well and finishing at the right time. This time, the Rossoneri won thanks to a goal scored with their first shot on target, a situation that has already occurred 11 times in the league."
"Allegri is doing a great job, even if not everyone appreciates his footballing philosophy and his style of play, but the important thing is that Milan is back to being competitive at the top of the table. If some reinforcements arrive from the transfer market, that would be a good thing."
Milan opened 2026 with a narrow victory in Sardinia that echoed a similar 2010-11 result. Allegri's side showed improved defensive organization and greater balance, which proved decisive in holding a slim lead. The victory exemplified a pragmatic playing philosophy of defending well and finishing when opportunities arise, with the goal coming from the first shot on target. Comparisons with past title-winning patterns and Napoli's 2024-25 season point to recurring tactical traits and growing resilience. Continued Scudetto hopes will require sustained standards and possible reinforcements in the transfer market.
