"Milan - who want to finish fourth at least - are actually fourth-last. Remember the derby win in early March, when everyone was talking about the Scudetto race being re-opened and Inter being within reach? Since then, Massimiliano Allegri's men have earned seven points in eight games, an average close to relegation. In this period of approximately two months, Milan are fourth-last in the league table for points accrued."
"Only Hellas Verona (two points), Pisa (three) and Lecce (five) have done worse than the Rossoneri in this period, Milan then follow, along with Cagliari and Cremonese who also have seven points. Who would be first in that bimonthly ranking? Inter, along with Juventus, who have 18 points each. Roma are third with 16, followed by Como, Lazio, Udinese and Torino with 14. That is all of Milan's top four rivals."
"The Rossoneri's slowdown is impressive: just when they should have accelerated to seal a top four spot, they stopped getting any points. Now they need six from six to get Champions League, and does that really feel likely at the moment?"
Milan were previously considered contenders for the Scudetto but have since fallen into relegation form. They want to finish at least fourth, yet they are fourth-last in the league based on points accumulated over the last two months. In eight games they earned seven points, averaging close to relegation performance. Only Hellas Verona, Pisa, and Lecce have done worse in that span, with Milan next, followed by Cagliari and Cremonese, which also have seven points. Inter and Juventus lead that bimonthly ranking with 18 points each, Roma are third with 16, and several other rivals have 14. Milan’s slowdown leaves them needing six points from six to secure Champions League qualification.
