AC Milan is very difficult to qualify for the UCL, I am also pessimistic to hope that they can qualify. For Serie A, it will be a very tight competition, as Inter and Atalanta have rediscovered their form with the positive results they got in the last few matches, Milan must be careful about this. There is still half a season, Milan must focus, the transfer market will be very decisive. Hopefully Milan don't make a mistake so that they get more stronger to keep the chances for the Champions this season.
I also feel pessimistic to see AC Milan qualify for the round of 16 this season. Although the opportunity is still not completely lost for AC Milan, but for sure Liverpool will be the toughest opponent to beat. It took a miracle to see them off the hook. I think Atletico Madrid have a bigger chance of qualifying than AC Milan and Porto, it must have been an unpleasant start for Milan, but I just want them not to give up until the end.
Very small chance and for me it's impossible to qualify even though what you say the opportunity hasn't been lost at the moment but I doubt Milan will win.
For me Milan has no other hope except to focus on the domestic league because the competition here is also very tight, I don't know in the transfer season Milan will make changes to buying other players but what is certain is that consistency must be maintained because Inter and Atalanta have started after the first table.
Well, I think that should not give up hope but Atletico Madrid surely has a better chance of qualifying than AC Milan. Liverpool is going to cause the problem for them for sure. Maybe it's time to bring some good form from the league matches to here I think. As they are absolutely dominating in the league matches and did really well to get in the first position of the league.
