To be honest, I still hope that Milan can again increase the competition for the Scudetto with Inter and Juventus. So we are not only looking at two axis of competition, but of course I understand that this is very difficult to happen, if Inter and Juventus continue to be consistent. Milan hopes of reducing the point difference are still very open, one of which is when the two top teams will beat each other, which is likely to end in a draw like in the first leg last November.
But looking at the current conditions, I think it will be very difficult for Milan to compete again with Inter and Juventus for the Schudetto title. Not because of anything, but if you look at the difference in points, this is too far. Moreover, Milan's condition is not as good as before, this season has changed quite a bit. This time, it looks like Milan is more focused on the Europe League so they can win it. Meanwhile in Serie A, perhaps the important thing is that Milan can qualify. But of course, Milan will not just give up. What is important is how Milan can survive and continue to improve their performance, so that they can truly achieve victory in every match.
Milan have already lost 4 times during this season but Juventus and Inter Milan only gets 1 loses which mean these teams is more consistent compared to them so if Milan want to keep up Juventus or Inter Milan they shouldn't be lost anymore but indeed Stefano Pioli has been thinking realistic because he know Milan performance still not stable so that's why he didn't targetting the scudetto because Pioli has realized it's hard to compete with Juventus and Inter Milan but he will attempts to bringing Milan to gets the winning result for each matches in Serie A
Milan position at 3rd place is very safe now because they have 11 difference points above to Fiorentina the team in the 4th place but indeed it would be very interested if they can able to joining the race with Inter Milan and Juventus for the Scudetto and it still possible as long as Milan not lost anymore until end of this season but indeed it won't be easy to managed their consistency because basically their condition still not stable especially after facing injured storm and this week Milan will fight against Bologna and if we see the recent performance between them i can see Bologna performance was decline so Milan should be utilized that situation to collect 3 points from this match
