Milan will suffer an atrocious mockery in the next edition of the Champions League: it will really happen, ugly tile
The Milan he ended his experience at the Olimpico in Rome Europa League: elimination in the quarter-finals of the event, a double searing defeat for the Rossoneri which prevented them from continuing their journey to the final in Dublin and trying to raise a trophy that is missing from the Rossoneri’s cabinet.
A scorching elimination also cost in terms of points in the UEFA rankings: Milan has in fact finished in 29th place in its ranking this season, even the sixth Italian after Inter (sixth), Roma (eighth, but can still gain points), Napoli and Juventus – 17th and 18th respectively – and Aralanta, 21st but in the same situation as Rome.
Milan finished with 59,000 points totals and it is a result that will also influence the path in the next edition of the Champions League, with the Rossoneri taking part in the edition with the new format.
Milan, trouble in the next Champions League: here’s what will happen
The closure at 29th place total, in fact, makes the Rossoneri team fluctuate between the second and third tier: this means a potentially very tough draw for the next phase, just as has already happened this season.
It is enough to remember how Milan was drawn in a very tough group with Newcastle but above all Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint Germain who also competed in the semi-final of the event (the first leg was played which saw the German club win with the result 1-0) .
In the new edition, each bracket will feature nine teams and AC Milan’s inclusion in the second or third will depend on which and how many clubs that currently surpass the Rossoneri in the standings will qualify for the next edition of the tournament.
To date, Chelsea and Manchester United but also Sevilla, Villarreal, NaplesPorto, Atalanta, West Ham as well as Ajax and Eintracht Frankfurt are not qualified. Among these, however, the Orobic team have more than a few hopes of qualifying. Brugge, Benfica and Rangers Glasgow, however, will have to qualify by playing in the play offs.
In short, not the best possible prospect for the Milan which will have to hope for a more benevolent draw in the next edition. A better path forward Europa League it would certainly have made the task easier, considering how points are earned with each victory and each passage of the round.
