AC Milan are taking on Roma tonight in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final. Playing in front of a hostile and sold-out Stadio Olimpico, will they complete the comeback? Follow our live updates and watchalong below.
Stefano Pioli has made several changes to the starting line-up, replacing Malick Thiaw and the injured Simon Kjaer with Fikayo Tomori and Matteo Gabbia at centre-back. Davide Calabria and Mike Maignan are also back.
Tijjani Reijnders and Yunus Musah are in the double pivot, with Christian Pulisic returning on the right wing and Olivier Giroud leading the line after.

I’m so sick of this milan and pioli. What an embarrassment. There’s no explanation. Pathetic
Well 2-0 now, I am glad I am not able to watch. Bye bye Pioli I guess?
Pathetic, i just hope inter crushed us too in this weekend so this fcking clueless coach got fired !!
Get out of here!!!
Pioli needs to handle the Inter match on Monday before he leaves for good.
No need to put any person in difficulty with Pioli badly coached and trained team on Monday.
What a misery! Disappointment and disbelief again. If we lose like this to a team like Roma, what would a more respectable team do to us!? The season is over for me. I wish them all the best for next season!
Reinders bench, Calabria defensive midfielder 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is very embarrassing. 10-man Roma team and this stupid coach called Pioli can’t use his head.
Wtf was he trying to do with this line up. A 5-year old who is blind would’ve put a better team on the pitch…
Pioli out once and for all, this season is a shambles
Yo yanks, sell Milan and go back to your super ball crap #cardinaleout
Chukwu and Tiji should start 2nd half.
Marciniak is getting a call to see var, while he hasn’t gave a penalty in the first place, just to call off the free kick from milan. This could be logical only if he gave a penalty in the first place. So why the FACK did var called him for??? I also can’t understand why RLC is starting the game instead of rijnders.
So many pathetic points to address. Why did we revert back to Calabria playing as an inverted right back? I don’t recall it working in the beginning of the season. Why is musah playing so wide? There’s no double pivot, no passing nothing.
What does pioli practice? I don’t understand a team so inconsistent, no identity at all. What a pathetic team
Why buy club like Milan when you know you aren’t ready to invest.
This cardinale and his admin team won’t take Milan anywhere.
Fuck Pioli, why start Musa and Bennecer at the same time knowing both of them lack discipline. They expose the backline to are sort of treat.
No clear cit pattern of play. Just eleven players with Milan shirt running like Christmas goats. Laeo seems to glue to that left side.
Milan goats? DDR has turned them to BBQ!!
If only we can play with urgency we would easily score a few
Change Giroud with Okafor!!
Get rid of lazy Leao and put Okafor
Adli and Reijners should also play…Gabbia is an idiot
MONEYBALL MONCADA!
Build a team next time, not a profit portfolio.
I told you guys at the beginning of the season and throughout the entire season that
MONEYABLL MONCADA
was going to destroy Milan.
People blame Pioli, as they should, but don’t forget Moneyball Man signed ~120m worth of players this year.
Again, serie A winning midfield:
Tonali, Kessie, Bennacer, Krunic
Moneyball Moncada era:
Bennacer, Reijnders, Adli, Musah
That’s how you lose games. The real disappointment should be directed at Moneyball Moncada for trying to build an investment portfolio of players rather than trying to build a team.
Maldini told them, but Moneyball & Cardinale decided that they knew better.
Today is the result of their hard work. The next match is likely Inter destroying us to win the title.
MONEYBALL MONCADA!!!!!
Haven’t people pointed out that Milan has more points at this stage of the season than they did when they won the league?
Which is it? Are they bad?? Or good???
I guess people like you just cherry pick your opinion and say things like “this is how you lose games” when you lose one game.
I don’t necessarily think this midfield is great, but it might be just about the same as the old one.
Gabbia had a lot of sex before playing today he lacks fitness such horrible display and nonchalant game
Why are you all so angry…this is the same all season, this is Pioli’s Milan….slow, uninspiring, have lots of possession and do Nothing…
The best thing they could happen to this shower is sh!t is to get smacked by Inter and watch them win the title
Pioli is so predictable…de Rossi could have written Pioli’s game plan yesterday.
Even with 10 men Roma out pass us, out press us and out class us….
I regret been a milan fan today
I’m highly disappointed
No leaders on this team.
Leao is not him.
Irrespective of how you feel about Pioli, the players shouldn’t need a coach to be motivated. They came out completely flat. Leao is borderline Serie C level at times. He’s not the guy to build a team around, he’s the cherry ontop of an already good solid team, which we do not have. Leao is no leader. Neither is Theo. We have Calabria who is a great workhorse but he’s not good enough technically to be the captain to really drag the team forward.
I am supporting milan from Nigeria and at the moment annoyed can’t imagine what those fans that travelled with the team will be feeling. Shame Shame 😡😡
Am highly disappointed this one pain me
I can’t believe that pioli studies the opposition and still has no clue how to unlock the defence. It truly doesn’t make sense how we tune passes together. In this point I mean Diaz with his intelligence pass and dribble
I almost think it’s the reverse, opposition managers know exactly what Pioli is going to do. It’s going to be Giroud always,,,.that’s an easy stop at his age. It will be slow buodo up play, inverted full backs, and then when the sh!t hits the pan he’ll bring in Jovic go two up front and lump it forwards….
De Rossi is doing a great job, ngl. I wonder if Roma will be able to compete for the Scudetto next season.
De Rossi won 2006 WC. The man Is a legend. We had leyends around but now we have the largest mouth of football as our Sporting director.
Cardinale and Zlatan will rip you off if you Let’em.
Remember the future of Sweden? Roback?
Absolutely not. That’s how absurd this result is. Di Rossi is Gattuso in disguise, it a manager bounce and that’s it. We need a proper striker. When was the last time we saw Milan score with a through ball. Always the same, let the other team defend deep, we go to the byline try to land it on girouds head but the problem is is leao crossing it and he couldn’t hit a fuckin barn door tonight. He just hits it (overhits it) for a goal kick then picks his head up and sees what he’s just done but he don’t learn. We’re so predictable it’s pathetic. We just watched Milan do the same thing for 160 of tge 180 minutes. Press them deep, lots of touches around the area and amounting to nothing. Can’t even get it in the box and draw a foul.
Loser’s mentality. Maldini told them how to fight for CL. Now we lose against Roma in Europa League.
It’s astonishing how Cardinale managed to destroy all that was once acomplished by a club with kids, an interim coach and heavy fines from UEFA.
I don’t think there was a game plan
No focus
And we got what we deserved, Roma was the better team.
We were given a way out there red card but we never used it
At a point we had leao, Giroud, Okafor, Chukwu, Jovic and we got our goal from a center back
I think for the 1st time I support the Pioli out.
They were a man down since like 30th mins and no tactical approach.
They had a plan executed it well, 1,2 passes when needed but we …….. we just Dey play………mchewwwww
Sad to finally publicly admit that Milan is forcing me to watch bad football on a weekly basis. Such a disgraceful display from the team. Pioli should have been removed by the end of last season itself. I don’t understand why the management can’t see through his lack of coaching intellect. I’ve following the team for almost 20 years. We had far worse phases, but with the players we have now this is unacceptable.
