Champions League Preview: Milan v Viktoria Plzen
On Wednesday night Milan will play host to Czech side Viktoria Plzen when Champions League action returns to the San Siro for the first time this season.

Milan 1 Cesena 0: Three points, thank you Clarence
Milan have finally notched up a win. What a relief. Heading into the game the team was languishing in 16th position after the club’s worst start to a campaign in 14 years.

Milan v Cesena Preview: A chance for three points, finally
Talk of crisis has avoided Milan despite the club sitting in a lowly 16th position.

After last night’s draw with Udinese, Milan remain winless after three rounds played which makes it official: this is the club’s worst start to a season since 1997. Back then, the Rossoneri failed to beat Piacenza in their opening game, only managing a draw. Then against Lazio they were denied by a late Giuseppe Signori [...]
Milan v Udinese Preview: Nothing less than three points will do
Tonight Milan will host high-flying Udinese and nothing less than three points in this match will do. The Champions have started their title defence in dismal fashion. They were forced to come back from 2-0 down against Lazio in the opening round while on Sunday they were schooled by an impressive Napoli, who made a [...]
Milan’s start to the campaign not what was expected
Milan entered this new season as clear favourites to retain the Scudetto they won back in May. Yet, after three matches played in total, two in the Serie A and one in the Champions League, things have not gone quite to plan. The Italian champions are still without a win in the new campaign after [...]
Barcelona 2 Milan 2: Milan’s Italian job at Camp Nou
We Milan fans are lucky. Many a night have we been blessed with magical moments in Europe’s premier club competition, the Champions League. The greatest recent memory was the year of 2007. Italian football was a mess after Calciopoli reshaped and distorted the Serie A as a viably competitive league. Forget the Azzurri’s triumph in [...]
