UEFA Champions League: Disappointment named AC Milan
Defeated by Feyenoord with a total score of 2-1 after 2 matches, AC Milan had to say goodbye to the most prestigious arena of European football right at the play-off round.
Before entering the 8th round of the qualifying round, the home team at San Siro only needs to gain 1 more point to officially be in the group of 8 teams. This is a task within the reach of coach Sergio Conceicao and his team, because their opponent is only the "tiny" team Dinamo Zagreb.
Unfortunately, in the match that took place in Croatia, the team from the "land of pasta" failed to demonstrate their inherent class. The disastrous red card of midfielder Yunus Musah in the 39th minute and the weak play of many positions on the field, caused AC Milan to accept a humiliating defeat with a score of 1-2.

Finished the qualifying round in 13th place,AC Milanhad to participate in the play-off to win a ticket to the round of 16. The opponent of Christian Pulisic and his teammates is Feyenoord. In all aspects, coach Sergio Conceicao and his team are better than their colleagues from the Netherlands.
In particular, in the 2025 winter transfer window, San Siro welcomed a series of quality new recruits. In addition to Kyle Walker and Joao Felix, coach Sergio Conceicao also had the service of Santiago Gimenez (Feyenoord's main striker in recent seasons).
However, AC Milan's strength has not changed significantly. Or rather, coach Sergio Conceicao is still struggling to build AC Milan into a winning machine. As a result, in the first leg at De Kuip, they were defeated by the home team Feyenoord with a score of 1-0.
However, the defeat by such a slim margin has not affected AC Milan's chances of advancing too much. Simply put, Christian Pulisic and his teammates still have the return match at San Siro, which has been considered the "holy land" of the team nicknamed Rossoneri throughout history.
Despite a dream start with Santiago Gimenez scoring in the first minute, AC Milan still let their opponents go home with a draw (1-1). The "culprit" this time was the defender - according to Hernandez. The French player's undeserved red card was one of the reasons why AC Milan "stumbled".
Witnessing what coach Sergio Conceicao and his team have just gone through, Milanistas are feeling very fed up. Don't forget, AC Milan was once considered the flagship of Serie A in the European arena and is currently ranked 2nd on the C1 Cup/UEFA Champions League table with 7 championships./.
