Overview
- Milan, which lost 1-0 at Napoli on Monday, slipped to third in Serie A and now trails Inter by nine points and Napoli by two.
- Massimiliano Allegri said the title race is "not for us now" and named Champions League qualification as the club's objective.
- He cited fitness limits for key wingers, with Christian Pulisic returning from international duty on Friday and Rafael Leao completing only two partial training sessions.
- Allegri started an untested strike pair of Niclas Fullkrug and Christopher Nkunku, and a late Matteo Politano volley from a poor clearance decided the match.
- The coach warned the top-four battle will take weeks to settle and urged wins to preserve a six-point cushion over fifth-place Juventus.
