Need to take him and Malinovsky off with cup final  in mind
This Rovella lad looks class as well,excellent defensive awareness and very calm and composed on the ball

The deal for him leaves him at Genoa on loan for another season. Much rather have him come and stop playing any of our non Brazilian midfielders.

Of course referees will carry JJ to top 4. How did we not see this coming.

Milan has as many penalties as Juve and Inter combined

Stopped watching at 2-1.. so I read right and the ref gave THREE wrong penalties in the game?

Cuadrado fouls your main man Perisic and ref gives penalty for ... Juve

Luckily it's useless for us, otherwise...

essentially problem for Napoli and Milan , but fictive

pls. Do Milan fans think to not win against Cagliari really ?

Cagliari haven't got points against Milan since 1999 (!), and important, if Benevento don't win it today, Cagliari will play match as saved.

Napoli risk it conversely. I predict Milan and Juve both on next CL

It's really ridicolous that Serie A don't play it concomitanly anyway

Liga and Ligue One do it.

Napoli is going to play it after Juve match, Cagliari after Benevento match, Sassuolo after Roma match etc
it doesn't make sense, I remember when even last 5 matchdays were in concomitance

How conveniently the BS red card for Bentancur is ignored.  Ofcourse since it doesn't fit Milano trannies' narrative...

Keep whining.

Besides it's not like we are a lock in for top 4 now. It just gave us a slim chance.

Doubt Napoli won't win. Fiorentina are playing for nothing and Napoli for everything. Napoli are in top form as well destroying Udinese and Spezia with 9 goals since last week.

Milan-Cagliari is not worth thinking about.

Our hopes are only with Fiorentina.

but in fact mainly I believe that Calvarese is very bad ref, a fish out of water for this matches.
Thoughts on who 's the best ref in Serie A for you ?
provided that essentially it's war between poor, rampant mediocrity, my name is La Penna
But he's not very rated apparently.
Surprised it's Abisso, he even refs today Fiorentina-Napoli

not after 10 years of failure .. atleast i cant be arrogant and say my team will win tomorrow against cagliary and seal the deal.
our team has always struggled when it matters most to deliver the results unfortunately. we will see how mentally they can show this isnt the case.

also cagliari has done pretty good in 5 games 3W and 2D and against top tier teams no? so this is like the kind of the game against spezia and sassuolo where everyone else say milan will win where instead they come short. so i really hope this isnt the case.
it is a mistake for our club to leave it this late, because they had been making excuses a lot that they have lot of games to play to catch up and they have now run of out of games

also if we dont win against cagliari, we have 5 important players on warning that they will be suspended against atalanta should they get yellow.

we have to deliver

yea and besides i think most of us has been pretty vocal about how like some pk that were given in favor of us or even against us are of not referring standards,

also we play very attacking football with risks with a lot of forwards in numbers so if opponents legit foul our players ... ref got no choice

absolutely none of them ... really. seriously serie a ref standards is appaling.

refs are supposed to bring discipline and control emotions of the players, bring calmness persona in the game but rather if ref are emotionally involved themselves between the teams then thats never good and thats always the case unfortunate with italian football refs.

English ref are the best really. they dont disrupt flow of the game.

Inter are nothing spectacular, but this match I guess was a bad choice, 4 pens ffs? Loool... Italian football at its best - full of fouls and stops and play acting.

no milan has less quality than juve if we compare from player to player but juve seems to be confused team and milan took advantage of it hence u saw that result. milan still is a work under construction

Vlahovic's offside goal gave me hope. The match is hanging on the balance.

It's over

99% to EL confirmed

Thanks Pandemic Pirlo

Eh so just 90 minutes separate Juve from EL damnation , well

Surreal that we will go to EL next year. I wonder what our team will look like and who will coach it.

My first reaction of EL brings me back to that group stage where we and City were both in it in 2010



Or to the semifinal lost with Conte vs Sporting before the final in our stadium. Need to win it this time.

Both Napoli and Milan have ample chances to bottle it. Tonight is a must-win for Milan. Napoli's last match is also a must-win.

So it's not over for Juve yet.

Regarding the Inter-Juve match, the ref was terrible all over the park and was trying to balance his awfulness by more awfulness. He obviously did not want to be the ref who sends Juve (not that his calls were exclusively in Juve's favor) to the EL, and Cuadrado basically dragged the team into the victory line.

In the end, Milan and Napoli must earn their CL spot themselves. Juve did enough damage to themselves this season for both teams to feel stupid if they let them off the hook.

Idk their names. I don't notice good refs only the bad calls. The one with short brown hair generally avoid scandals which is the best we can hope for

Yesterday it was unacceptable refeering. Worst i've ever seen. The ref's decisions had so much influence on the match that we can't even tell what would have been the normal result. 1 valid goal on each side (Cuadrado and Chiellini's own goal) but the latter is due to the undeserved red card given to Bentancur forced us to strictly defend. It was even disallowed at first for non-existent foul

All penalties were given after VAR review and all 3 of them were soft. These guys have either vision problems or they don't know football. Lost control of the match early and never got it back. It was random decision after random decision. Terrible job

Crotone ties on 93'
It means Cagliari ALREADY SAVED before Milan match
GOLDEN result for Milan, now it becomes really hard to bottle it

Relegation playoff last match day between Torino and Benevento

Whoever wins, will stay in Serie A as Benevento have the H2H advantagr on away goals in the reverse fixture

Torino really are tempting fate here

This also means that if Torino loses today, then Torino vs. Benevento's will be a relegation final.

I don't think it's valid to consider a team is playing for nothing. As can be seen from Inter's match yesterday, Crotone's match today, and a lot of other matches, pride is still on the line.

There is no away goal rule in H2H here. If Torino loses against Lazio, then Benevento must win to avoid relegation. Otherwise, Torin can just avoid losing.

We look horrible, watch us concede

We struggle against every team deploying 3 at the back @Cas

Cagliari are the better team so far. Everyone is playing bad.

What a dreadful half, Cagliari could've scored 3-4 times

We look terrible in attack, Cagliari defends with 11 men. We really need a penalty
