AC Milan Keeping Focus on Top Four Amid Scudetto Ambitions AC Milan narrowed the gap with Serie A leaders Inter after a recent victory, but manager Massimiliano Allegri emphasized that his team’s primary goal remains securing a top-four finish rather than chasing the league title. The Rossoneri’s win over Inter reduced the gap to seven points, but Allegri stressed that the focus must shift from the title race to the Champions League qualification battle. Allegri highlighted that Milan’s current 60 points in 28 Serie A matches are insufficient for a top-four spot, requiring five additional victories to reach the necessary threshold. The team’s performance against Inter, which cut the gap to seven points, underscored the competitiveness of the league. However, Inter’s draw with Atalanta on Saturday extended the gap to eight points ahead of Milan’s upcoming match against Lazio. Milan are nine points ahead of fifth-place Roma, who are locked in a tight race with Juventus and Como for the final Champions League berth. Allegri reiterated that while the team is satisfied with recent results, the focus must remain on progression. “We have to win more games to reach a certain quota,” he said, noting that Inter’s dominance has shown them to be the strongest team in the league. The manager also acknowledged the challenges posed by Lazio, a team known for its tactical discipline under Maurizio Sarri. “This is an important game for us because we want to take another step forward,” Allegri said, emphasizing the need for a strong performance against the Biancocelesti. Daniel Maldini, Lazio’s forward, has become a notable figure in Serie A, having scored for five different clubs, including Milan, Cosenza, Spezia, Empoli, and Lazio.#inter_milan #ac_milan #massimiliano_allegri #lazio #daniel_maldini
