For a very long time I was expecting Ac Milan to be in stable and lose ground on the title race, my mind told me they would stable. In my heart I wished they could win. Inter were more consistent. But Ac Milan kept on picking important wins. I was surprised they were winning games expected of them to lose. I think Pioli has to take a lot of the credit for this triumph, especially when you consider how close the club were to hiring Ralf Rangnick in 2020, before instead electing to make the Italian's temporary contract a long-term one.
