On my first day in Milan for the 2026 Winter Olympics, I wandered to the heart of the city to admire the stunning marble facades of the Duomo and window-shop through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.

British post-holiday chatter is frequently peppered with remarks and references to the pennies saved once we return home with more loose change than expected, our bellies as full as our hearts after days ticking a new destination off of the ever-growing bucket list. As any thrifty traveller knows, it's all in the planning - yet it's the endless search and consequential indecision that all too often keeps the trip in the group chat. Faff no more, we say!

There is a lot on the line in the first Milan derby of the season, but that in itself is something that should be celebrated.

The midfield is one position that most would agree has been strengthened with the likes of Modric, Jashari and Ricci joining Fofana, Loftus-Cheek. Rabiot adds further strength with the departures of the likes of Musah opening up a spot for another player.
Style reverberates through the streets, like the echo of expertly cobbled heels clacking on the stone streets of Brera. When a work trip brought me to Milan Fashion Week, I jumped at the chance, determined to soak up an effortless sense of style via osmosis. I quickly learned just how much style is a part of daily life in Milan- I made the mistake of rolling out of bed in a loungewear set for my hotel's continental buffet.
