AC Milan are the defending Serie A champions, and they will be hoping to see their name engraved on the trophy at the end of the season once again. However, many teams are going to stand in their way, one being bitter rivals Inter, who finished runners-up last term by just two points. And that’s where the story really begins.

Over the years, the number of betting companies sponsoring football clubs has been steadily increasing. In the past, football clubs were sponsored by local beers, car companies, electrical firms, and similar. It is now common to see the new industry act as sponsors to elite football teams.

Also, they have confirmed the acquisition of Divock Origi, the former Liverpool forward, on a Bosman deal. AC…

There would have been fewer happier fan bases anywhere in Europe at the end of the 2021-22 season, as AC Milan won their first Scudetto in over ten years. It was something that looked extremely unlikely at the start of the season, with many experts predicting another title race between Juventus and Inter Milan. However, the consistency that Milan showed throughout the season ensured that their progression under Stefano Pioli continued. In the 2020-21 season,…

While reports claim that Belgian international striker Romelu Lukaku has rejected an approach from AC Milan, those inside the game feel that the story is far from over. The Chelsea striker has endured a difficult season at Stamford Bridge with reports over disputes, and a disappointing return which has seen him score just eight league goals in 26 matches. Lukaku may have intimated that he will stay and fight for his place, but the majority…

Rafael Leao has been one of the hottest players in Serie A this season and is on course to lead AC Milan to their first Scudetto in over a decade. With another goal against Atalanta, is fair to say that he might be a contender for the team’s player of the season.
