Current Standings and Recent Form

After seven games of the 2025-26 Serie A campaign, Milan sit at the summit of the league table, having secured a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina at the San Siro on Sunday. The Rossoneri have enjoyed an impressive run of form, putting together an unbeaten streak spanning six matches. This sequence includes five victories and a 0-0 draw away to Juventus, subsequent to their surprising opening-day defeat by Cremonese.

Allegri’s Champions League Objective

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday before Milan’s upcoming match, Massimiliano Allegri clarified that the team’s primary focus is qualification for the Champions League, rather than the Serie A title. The manager has established an exact points threshold for achieving this aim, stating, “We need a minimum of 74 points.”

Allegri emphasised that the Rossoneri are concentrating solely on their own progress and not fixating on the form of their rivals Napoli or Inter. He noted the importance of maintaining composure and a step-by-step approach as Milan continue their campaign.

Focus Shifts to Pisa Clash

The Rossoneri will return to action at San Siro against newly-promoted Pisa on Friday night. Reflecting on their defeat to Cremonese at the beginning of the season, Allegri joked during his press conference, “We have to do a bit better than we did the last time we played a newly-promoted team,” underlining the need for focus to avoid a repeat outcome.
