It has been a disappointing end to the 2025-26 season for Milan, who have only picked up four points from their last five matches, falling to defeats against Sassuolo, Udinese and Napoli over that period.
Now, the Rossoneri could end the weekend in fourth place if Juventus win against the already-relegated Hellas Verona later on Sunday evening.

The Rossoneri players did not go and thank their supporters in front of the stand, instead staying in the centre circle while being loudly jeered from a distance.
Sky Sport Italia reports that captain Mike Maignan began to lead his players over to the stand to applaud their supporters, but then began to head towards the dressing rooms upon hearing the boos, which only made the reception worse.
Milan will have an opportunity to respond next Sunday when they host Atalanta in San Siro. Then come tests against Genoa and Cagliari to close the 2025-26 campaign.

What happened
Milan were beaten 2-0 by Sassuolo after goals from Domenico Berardi and Armand Lauriente. The Rossoneri played most of the match with 10 men following Fikayo Tomori's red card in the 24th minute. After the final whistle, Milan's travelling fans loudly jeered the team, underlining frustration with a poor run of form. Milan have taken only four points from their last five league matches and now face added pressure in the race for the top four.
Chance analysis
This matters because it combines poor recent form, defensive instability, and visible supporter unrest around Milan at a critical stage of the season. Tomori's dismissal also raises short-term squad and matchup concerns, while the public reaction increases pressure ahead of the next fixtures.
The immediate effect is negative for Milan, with form and discipline concerns hurting confidence before upcoming matches.
Downgrade Milan slightly in near-term pricing due to weak form, disciplinary risk, and rising pressure around the team.
