“Hope Rekindled or Reality Check? Milan Stumble After Derby High and Leão Erupts, as Title Dreams Fades

Send a text

Fresh off an electrifying derby win over AC Milan’s city rivals Inter Milan, hope was back in the air for the Rossoneri faithful. With the gap narrowing and momentum building, the Scudetto dream felt alive again… until a frustrating 1-0 defeat to Lazio brought everyone crashing back to reality.

In this episode of Davy & Chin Talk Milan, the guys break down the emotional rollercoaster — from derby euphoria to Olimpico heartbreak.

Was Rafael Leão justified in his on-field outburst, or did it expose deeper cracks within the squad? Davy defends Milan’s star boy, arguing he’s the one player expected to carry the team in big moments — but was he let down by his teammates and tactics?

Meanwhile, concerns grow around Christian Pulisic’s goal drought and his lack of chemistry with Leão. Is it just a dip in form, or something more tactical?

The conversation also turns to Massimiliano Allegri’s system. Is the rigid 3-5-2 setup limiting Milan’s attacking stars? And did switching to a 4-3-3 come too late — especially after Leão was subbed off just as the system began to favour him?

Davy praises the team’s unity in the derby and highlights the surprising inclusion of Pervis Estupiñán, but questions remain about defensive vulnerabilities that ultimately cost Milan crucial points.

With the title race slipping and Champions League qualification becoming the realistic goal, Chin and Davy go head-to-head:

Is there still a twist in Milan’s season… or is this where the dream ends?
