Serie A. Complicated end of the season for AC Milan and Juventus, without a win

Sad season ending for AC Milan and Juventus Torino: outclassed by Inter Milan, crowned Italian champions in mid-April, Milan, held to a draw by Genoa (3-3) on Sunday, and Juve, neutralized by AS Roma (1) -1) , hasn’t won in a month.

AC Milan went through all the stages against Genoa: leading twice (1-0 after the 5th minute, 2-1 after the 48th minute), Stefano Pioli’s team took the lead in the 75th minute and led 3-2 thanks to Olivier Giroud, his 14th goal of the season.

But the Rossoneri, without goalkeeper Mike Maignan, injured in his adductor muscles, had to settle for a draw after an own goal from Malick Thiaw in the 87th minute.

Already angry before the game, the supporters, especially the ultras from the Curva Sud, who had decided to go on an inciting strike, left the San Siro ten minutes before the final whistle as a sign of protest.

Their team has not won for a month and the success at home against Lecce (3-0) on April 6.

Since then, Christian Pulisic and his teammates have been knocked out in the quarter-finals of the Europa League by AS Roma and have only collected two points in four league matches.

AC Milan are still in second place, 18 points behind Inter Milan and should have their ticket to the Champions League.

Fourth draw in a row for Juve –

But Pioli, who has been in office since 2019 and the target of supporters’ discontent, should no longer be in charge of the team next season.

Our fans have always supported us, they chose to protest in this way, it is up to us to finish the season wellinsisted the Italian technician who refused to discuss his future.

Juve, on the other hand, had a fourth straight draw in the league and have only won twice in Serie A since the end of January! Their duel against Roma was spectacular and intense, but the Bianconeri have been chasing a win since April 7.

They remain 3rd but are threatened by Bologna (4th, two points) who could knock them off the podium, which could cost Massimiliano Allegri his place.

But unlike Pioli, Allegri can save the club’s season (and his position?) with a trophy: Juve will play the Italian Cup final on May 15 against Atalanta.

Before the trip to Leverkusen on Thursday, in the semi-finals of the Europa League (2-0 loss in the first half), Roma kept their 5th place, synonymous with the Champions League, but Atalanta (6th three points behind with two games in less) can still be ahead of her by the end of the season.
