Rossoneri Round Up for Feb 16: What Stands In The Way Of AC Milan and European Football This Season?

AC Milan are attempting to hunt down an elusive Champions League spot but may have to settle in a Europa League position this year. Milan lost their first game of 2020 last weekend against Inter Milan and will need to bounce back hard against Torino on Monday. Atalanta currently hold the last UCL spot with 45 points, AS Roma and Hellas Verona occupy the UEL spots with 39 and 34 points respectively although Verona have a game in hand.

Milan are bogged down in the trenches alongside Bologna, Cagliari, Parma and Napoli between 7th and 11th place ranging between 33 and 30 points. In the coming weeks, Milan have to ensure they do not drop points as they can easily get stuck mid table thus throwing away the seasons after a minor revival.
