From the source
A report this morning has put forward the notion that it may be a blessing in disguise that AC Milan missed out on the Champions League.
MilanNews write that the club ‘have Cagliari to thank for that May day at San Siro’. It’s paradoxical, following an initial instinctive reaction: how can Milan hosting Ferencvaros be better than facing PSG, Barcelona or Manchester City on a magical Champions League night?
Well, considering how Massimiliano Allegri is doing with Napoli, there is a compelling case that it was necessary pain. The report explained the thesis. Allegri’s decline began on 15 March 2026, the day of the 1-0 defeat away against Lazio after he won the derby thanks to Pervis Estupinan’s goal.
