It's a big motivation to them on the rest of the matches, because it shows that they are capable of trashing any team if they're determined. Milan is picking form gradually after the sack of Fonseca, and I believe their new coach will lead the coach to a greater height. We might see more surprises from Milan as the season goes farther. I just hope they can struggle their way to finish on top on the table.
As far as I can see, Milan's performance is not entirely consistent, the draw they got when they faced Roma at San Siro can explain everything. Overall, their performance has improved a bit since the change of coach. Now they are far behind Napoli who are currently at the top of the standings, it is difficult for them to achieve that target.
In my opinion, this season it is a bit difficult for Milan to return to the top four, this is because the performance of Napoli, Atalanta, Inter and Lazio is still very consistent.
