Identity crisis in Europe for AC Milan, which continues to collect disappointments outside the national borders. The disappointing start to the new continental campaign has reignited the spotlight on a negative trend that has now lasted for several European outings. Looking at the last four matches played in the Champions League and Europa League, the red and black team's record is ruthless: three defeats and only one draw, which turned out to be completely irrelevant.

The black streak highlights the structural difficulties encountered by the club in major international fixtures. From the remedied knock‑outs against opponents of the caliber of Dinamo Zagreb and Feyenoord, to the latest bitter home misstep against Benfica, Milan has no longer been able to impose its game and its tradition in European competition.

A rolling pace to reverse immediately

The only useful result achieved in this partial is the home draw at San Siro against Feyenoord, a point that nevertheless did not change the qualification fortunes and proved completely useless for advancing to the next round.

The lack of continuity and the weight of international empty passes put the team of Ruben Amorim in front of a moral and tactical obligation: to immediately find the right direction and reverse the trend already from the next continental commitments, so as not to jeopardise the season's path and restore calm to the whole environment.
