Barcelona have always relied on defenders who are comfortable on the ball, and Bastoni is built for that responsibility. As a naturally left-footed centre-back, he offers balance in the build-up phase, something that has often been missing in Barcelona's defensive structure. More importantly, he is confident in progressing the ball forward, whether through carries or sharp vertical passes that break opposition lines.
No matter what happens in his Milan story from here, nothing can take away from Estupinan's night against Inter. Having been the subject of ridicule from large sections of the fanbase who almost dreaded him starting, he put in an excellent shift and scored the winning goal.
US Cremonese's top scorer this season is Federico Bonazzoli. He has six goals on 30 shots. Another major offensive player for US Cremonese is Jamie Vardy. He has five goals and 13 shots on goal. Jari Vandeputte is the leading chance creator on US Cremonese this season. He has created 27 chances.
Gila is a name that Milan have been linked with since January, but he's not an easy target because there's a lot of competition for the Spanish defender. Added to this is the fact that relations between Milan and Lazio aren't ideal at the moment. However, I can confirm that Gila is a name that the Rossoneri are following.
At Milan, they are hoping to enjoy him for another season... 'Just one? The way I see it, Modric can keep going for another two or three seasons at least.' The Scudetto is currently being played for. Do Milan still have a chance of winning it? 'Inter are seven points ahead and are obviously the favourites, but Sunday's derby showed that Milan aren't there by chance and can fight for it.'
Daniel Maldini was still able to experience the youth sector journey at Milan like his dad. He made his senior debut in a red and black shirt and even scored his first professional goal in a season that culminated with a Scudetto win. However, unlike Paolo, he departed for pastures new.
Gila continues to be at the top of Igli Tare's list. The Spaniard is one of the director's intuitions, and the coach also values him highly. Confirmation of this was the presence of a Milan scout in the deserted stands of the Stadio Olimpico on Monday evening for Lazio-Sassuolo, to watch him closer.
Fresh from navigating their first UEFA knockout tie in 26 years, Bologna now look to carry their continental momentum deeper into the Europa League. Vincenzo Italiano's men edged SK Brann 1-0 in both playoff legs to secure their place in the last 16, extending what has been a quietly impressive European campaign.
In defence, Gila has been talked about for some time. As a protégé of Tare, who discovered him and brought him to Italy, he's an exemplary professional who waited his turn, improved, and then became one of the league's top centre-backs. His contract expires in 2027, but he's ready to leave in the summer. Someone like him would be perfect for AC Milan: quick, explosive, and excellent at recovering the ball.
Milan headed into the clash ten points behind their city rivals, more or less already ruled out of the Scudetto race, and almost all pundits saw Inter as the favourites. However, it became clear pretty quickly that the Rossoneri weren't going to lie down without a fight.
