Milan (Italy) – AC Milan are heading into one of their biggest weekends of the season, looking to crown a historic week with a victory over Juventus. The Rossoneri not only sit at the top of Serie A but have also made major progress toward building a new stadium to replace the legendary San Siro.
Currently leading the table on goal difference ahead of Napoli and Roma, Milan have stitched together five consecutive wins in both league and cup. Their recent triumph over defending champions Napoli has fueled belief that Stefano Pioli’s men are genuine contenders for the Scudetto this season.
Milan, Napoli, and Roma are locked on 12 points each, while Juventus trail just one point behind — setting the stage for a tense showdown on Sunday evening.
For Milan, things are looking up both on and off the pitch. The club’s American owners, RedBird Capital, received a huge boost this week when the city of Milan finally approved the sale of the San Siro — ending years of political debate. The move allows both Milan and Inter to move forward with plans for a brand-new, state-of-the-art stadium.
The city council’s marathon 11-hour session ended with a narrow 24-vote approval, following fierce opposition from across the political spectrum over the sale of 28 hectares of public land and the potential demolition of one of football’s most iconic stadiums.
