Roma – Milan Serie A matchday 37 May 18 2025 20:45CET
Milan managed to provide an encapsulation of the very disappointing and poor season in the Coppa Italia final. An ineffective, mediocre performance against Bologna in Roma left Milan with another embarrassment. As if not given before the 1-0 loss in Roma the season is now deserving of words like fiasco, regression and worse. The responsibility clearly starts at the top but is not confined to Gerry Cardinale, Paolo Scaroni, Giorgio Furlani, Ibra and Geoffrey Moncada. Conceicao (and Fonseca before him) and most of the squad share fault. As is natural the positive and good players, but not only them, are subject to exit rumours. As one example, Reijnders is reported to be a solid target for Manchester City. While selling a player of his importance is a few steps back the selling price is also a factor. History shows that Milan are not exactly the best at maximizing sales numbers. A painful summer, that may include qualification for the UEFA Conference League, is upon us.
Travelling to Rome with only a hope of keeping a top eight spot is not how the penultimate game of the season should have been or should be for a team with Milan’s resources but here we are.
Little to no change is expected as Maignan will start behind Tomori, Gabbia and Pavlovic. The Jimenez, Reijnders, Fofana, Theo quartet is also expected to start. Gimenez might get a now rare start in place of Jovic. Otherwise Pulisic and Leao should retain their spots. The latter had one of his off games and while he remains the team’s top pure talent he is very deserving of expectations and criticism of not delivering them more often. All in all the squad has not been managed as well as should be expected and as mentioned above very few can escape the blame.
Roma lie only three points ahead of Milan in sixth place. A win in this match and in the season finale versus Monza will add a minor positive note to the 2024-25 Serie A season but Milan is in crisis and Cardinale absence from Milan only heightens the hopes for another team sale.
