So Carlo, Milan drop points at home to Cremonieza surprisingly, putting their Serie A top four finish in real jeopardy.
Speaker: Absolutely. And this is the third time this has happened recently with Stefano Pioli basically resting the entire first 11 ahead of the Champions League. And they've fallen short. They were really bad in this game against Cremonese. They didn't create enough chances. The players that come in, I mean, De Kettler and Norigi, really, really disappointing again. I mean, De Kettler is really risk going down as being one of the biggest
Speaker: transfer flops, I can never remember, at Milan. And this also shows that the squad depth is just not, there's just not enough squad depth at Milan. And Maldini Massara for the amazing job that they've done at Milan, they got it wrong last summer. And it could cost Milan in the, you know, in the race for the Champions League next season, because they may even have to win the Champions League in order to qualify next season.
Speaker: Because Nimr, the race for the top four is absolutely insane, isn't it? It's absolutely crazy. Places between spot two and spot seven, I mean, those six teams, there's not much between them, especially Atalanta, Roma, Milan and Inter. And they all play each other, the six of them, this weekend as well, just to add a bit of spice to that.
Speaker: No, look, it's going to be a crazy finish and I think it's going to go down to the wire. However, I do feel that Juve and Lazio will finish in the top four, which means that one of Milan and Inter will most likely finish out of the top four and have to probably, like you said, win the Champions League in order to play in the Champions League.
Speaker: which is crazy. As for Roma, as I keep saying, I think they've been decimated. I think they need to focus on the Europa League because their best chances of playing in the Champions League is to win the Europa League.
