"I have a natural connection to both clubs. Atalanta allowed me to become a professional, Milan gave me consistency at the highest level, and it was the team I supported as a child. It's become a marquee match."
"A missed opportunity, no doubt. Milan had taken an early lead, but then they managed it poorly and were a bit surprised by Pisa, who instead gave it their all."
"Well, Allegri is dealing with several injuries. The absences of Rabiot and Pulisic are particularly significant. But beyond that, on Friday I had the feeling that the team relaxed too much after the lead, not playing at their best."
"I don't think so. It's true that absences have prevented rotation in recent weeks, but Milan don't have the cups and in my opinion they can't be tired in October. Rather, the performance was lacking."
Roberto Donadoni maintains a deep personal connection to both Atalanta and AC Milan, calling Atalanta the start of his career and Milan the fulfilment of his dream. Atalanta enters the match unbeaten under Ivan Juric with two wins and six draws. Milan aim to recover after a 2-2 draw with Pisa, a result Donadoni labels a missed opportunity. He cites key absences, notably Rabiot and Pulisic, and suggests the team relaxed after taking the lead. Donadoni rejects fatigue as a cause for poor display, attributing the issue to an overall lacking performance.
