San Siro on Sunday, Lecce in town, and no room for another slow start. The Benfica result has made Matchday 5 feel heavier. I’m starting to think I picked the wrong time for my six-year-old’s first live match. Then again, perhaps this is the proper Milan initiation. #SempreMilan #MilanLecce

Milan had 17 shots; Benfica had 11. Both put four on target. That is the difference between occupying territory and owning a match. Another performance with too much ball and too little incision from Milan. #SempreMilan #ACMSLB #UEL

Ruben Amorim doing Ruben Amorim things. Great communicator, but his Milan lacks cohesion, identity, and PERSONALITY on the pitch. Watching Milan so far this season is an exercise in faith. #ACMSLB #UEL #ACMilan #Benfica

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Amorim didn’t hide Milan’s ambition: this Europa League is there to be won. Five changes tonight mean this is also a test of squad depth. Let’s see which Milan we get tonight: Lazio first half or Lazio second half? Forza Ragazzi! 🔴⚫️ #ACMSLB #UEL #ACMilan #SempreMilan

Amorim’s line after Lazio was revealing: Milan need “control” for Modrić to work. Benfica is less about reproducing the comeback and more about avoiding the need for one. #SempreMilan #Benfica #EuropaLeague

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Milan have never lost to Benfica: four wins, including two European Cup finals, and two draws. San Siro on Wednesday gives Amorim both the chance and the responsibility to keep that record intact. #Milan #Benfica #UEL

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

"You cannot play for just one half" — Amorim's post-Lazio verdict is becoming a worrying refrain, not a one-off admission. #Milan

Nine years ago, Como were in Serie D. Tonight, they host RB Leipzig… in the Champions League. A European night at the lakeside Sinigaglia is the stuff of dreams — but let’s not call it a fairy tale. A short thread. 🧵 #Como1907 #UCL #SerieA

There is no shame in losing 1-0 to Arsenal. It is shameful to barely attempt to play against them. Arsenal had 26 shots and 4.05 xG; Napoli had 0.22 xG. Those numbers make Allegri’s post-match praise for the defensive display feel spectacularly off-key. #Napoli #Arsenal #UCL

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

The thought that Max Allegri gets to coach in the Champions League tonight, after helping sabotage Milan’s own qualification last year, currently torments me. Now he’s at Napoli talking about the UCL as “an ambition we must all have.” #ACMilan #Allegri #SerieA #UCL

“Pulisic has returned from an injury, so I’m managing him. For now, Alpha is playing in his place.” – Ruben Amorim after Juventus. 3 call-ups, 0 minutes, and the USMNT’s talisman is still waiting to grab Milan’s attacking reins now that Leão has vacated the premises. #ACMilan #Pulisic #SerieA

Pulisic remains a load-management puzzle; his absence has been noted, and I'm curious to see how he fits into the system. If used properly, he can affect right-side progression, chance creation, and how cleanly the team can move into the final third #ACMilan

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

“It wasn’t our best performance. We lost too many balls. There’s still a lot of work to do.” Amorim doesn’t sugarcoat the match vs Juve: a point taken, but the standard is high and this is far from the finished product #ACMilan #SerieA

000

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Gatti’s equaliser will dominate the headlines, but Milan’s real issue came earlier: can this team manage the last 10 or so minutes when the game starts to turn hostile? Game management is the difference between contenders and also-rans. #SerieA #ACMilan

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

It pains me to say it, but there is a visible gap in quality between this match and the two bangers last night. Both Juve and Milan are still a work in progress and it shows #juventus #milan #seriea

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Milan’s first real test comes with a familiar twist: away at Juventus, tight margins, and an injury in a position where the Rossoneri are short. A reminder that this matchup has often been a snoozefest in recent years, so don't get your hopes up. #Milan #Juventus #JuventusMilan #SerieA

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Gabbia’s absence is a reminder that September football is often about squad depth, not how glamorous a player is. Teams that survive these moments usually earn the right to dream later. #Milan #SerieA

Randomly thought back to Kevin De Bruyne teasing the Napoli No. 10 last year... it just feels wrong. I know it’s just a training kit, and just a bit of savvy marketing, but that shirt ought to be sacred and untouchable.#Napoli #Maradona #DeBruyne

I've rewatched Jimenez's MMA session over and over. a) How is that not a red? b) what is going through his brain? #fiorentinafrosinone #SerieA #espn #fiofro

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

The Italian view is basically the one I share: in the right mental state, Leão can play for any team in the world. Sometimes a player needs a different environment. I’m gutted that Milan will not be the place where he gets back to his best. #Milan #Leao

010

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

The sale also hints at Amorim’s intention: striker as the focal point, wider players tasked with early balls and cut-backs, not relying on Leão-style isolation dribbling. It’s still going to be weird seeing him in another shirt. Genuinely wish him all the best #Milan #Leao

010

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I'm genuinely gutted with how things ended with Leão. People with short memories will only remember the past year or so, forgetting he was injured and often played out of position. Even then, opponents dedicated a man to mark him out, opening space for everyone else.

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

My Juve-supporting mate tells me they were fairly dire vs Frosinone. I’ll try to catch their game later. Needless to say, Milan’s next game will be the toughest of Amorim’s regime so far. #ForzaMilan

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Really pleased to see Gila and Pavlović’s partnership. Venezia were dangerous on the counter and these two were able to sniff it out. On the flipside, I still have no idea what successive coaches see in Loftus-Cheek. He must do something in training that hypnotises them.

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Ramos looked hellbent on continuing the recent Milan striker curse with a series of misses, some easy, some less so. But he took his goal like a proper #9, and with his wrong foot as well. His battling in the build-up was encouraging too. #Milan #MilanVenezia

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Watching back this morning, it was clearly an emotional night: first home game of the season, the tribute to Baresi, and the undercurrent of Leão’s imminent farewell. In recent years, Milan have crumbled in similar conditions (think Cagliari at the end of last season) #MilanVenezia #Milan

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Despite some initial reservations about Amorim's appointment, I’m liking a lot of what I have seen so far. Yes, "only" Torino and Venezia, but you have to beat what’s in front of you.

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I was busy trying to put a toddler to sleep during the game yesterday, so couldn’t tweet in the moment, but I’ve been positively surprised after what has been a summer of utter chaos. Early days, but for the first time in a while I’m actually optimistic about #Milan

Boaz @boazs.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

3 points on the board is all that matters (remember how we started last year!), but there are also reasons to be optimistic about this Milan reset. Forza Ragazzi 🔴⚫ #TorinoMilan

This lives on the shelf of my home office as a reminder of being 9 or 10 years old and coming face to face with Franco Baresi in the Milan store. I was so star struck that I temporarily lost the power to move or speak. Nobody else had spotted him yet. My mum had to ask him for the autograph. 💔🖤

My hot take for this season: Fiorentina are dark horses. With Pioli, the master of regeneration, plus the confirmed talents of Gudmundsson and Kean, they have the pieces to really shock people and fight for a top spot this season. #Fiorentina #PioliIsOnFire #SerieA #Viola

Roma's FFP challenge is a reminder of Serie A's financial tightrope. They need €12M to avoid sanctions. While Napoli continue to make headlines with huge signings, other clubs are just trying to stay afloat. The two realities of Italian football. Meanwhile, Gasp is desperate for new signings!

Inter's interest in Lookman is potentially a deal that works for everyone. For Inter: Lookman is a "double-digit" scorer who brings versatility and an eye for goal. He's the perfect player to complement Lautaro and Thuram, particularly after Taremi flopped last year. #Inter #Atalanta #Lookman
