• Report: Leão’s anger at Pulisic forced Max Allegri intervention in Milan dressing room

  Tensions boiled over in the AC Milan dressing room following a 1-0 defeat to Lazio, as Rafael Leao reportedly confronted Christian Pulisic over a lack of service, forcing manager Max Allegri to physically separate the two stars. ​Rafael Leao’s frustration overshadowed Milan’s loss at the Stadio Olimpico after the winger reacted furiously to being substituted. The Portugal international reportedly took his anger into the dressing room, targeting Christian Pulisic for failing to pass in key attacking moments. Allegri downplayed the spat, noting Leao was “a bit annoyed because he had some situations where he could’ve had better service.” ​The confrontation highlights a growing crisis for Milan’s attack, with Pulisic yet to score a goal in 2026. Statistics show the pair have started together only seven times this season, producing just two goals in those fixtures. With the strike partnership failing to deliver, Allegri faces a significant challenge to restore harmony ahead of a critical run of Serie A fixtures.

• Can AC Milan’s pragmatic path under Max Allegri lead to Serie A contention?

  After a pivotal victory over league leaders Inter, Massimiliano Allegri’s AC Milan have moved within seven points of the summit, boasting the division’s best defensive record as they enter the season’s final stretch.

  ​AC Milan have reignited the Serie A title race following a historic Derby della Madonnina victory, completing a rare league double over Inter.

  Under Massimiliano Allegri, the Rossoneri have transformed into Italy’s most disciplined defensive unit, conceding only 20 goals thus far.

  Pervis Estupinan’s winner silenced critics of Allegri’s pragmatic 3-5-2 system, which has revitalized the careers of Fikayo Tomori and Alexis Saelemaekers.

  ​Despite the defensive solidity, concerns persist regarding Milan’s offensive output compared to Inter’s superior scoring rate.

  The team averages just 1.6 goals per match, hampered by injury struggles for stars Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic.

  With loan signing Niclas Fullkrug sidelined and Christopher Nkunku struggling for consistency, Allegri has frequently been forced to field makeshift strike partnerships, including utilizing Ruben Loftus-Cheek in advanced roles.

  ​The Rossoneri must now navigate a demanding schedule while addressing a lack of depth in central midfield.

  While 40-year-old Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot have been instrumental, the heavy reliance on veteran legs poses a sustainability risk.

  If Milan is to overhaul Inter’s lead, they must improve their efficiency against low-block teams, having previously dropped points against relegation-threatened sides like Pisa and Fiorentina.

• ‘Gone within 24 hours’ – Tottenham ‘will’ sack Igor Tudor today

  Tottenham Hotspur interim manager Igor Tudor is expected to be dismissed within 24 hours following a calamitous 5-2 Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid and a historic run of six consecutive losses.  

  ​Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly set to sack interim manager Igor Tudor today after a disastrous 25-day reign.

  The decision follows a “shocking” 5-2 loss to Atletico Madrid, where Tudor’s tactical gamble to start goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky resulted in the 22-year-old being hauled off after just 17 minutes.

  Pundit Henry Winter predicted the exit on Sky Sports, stating, “Tudor will absolutely be the fall guy. He’ll go within 24 hours, I’m sure.”

  ​The Croatian’s tenure has seen Spurs lose all four matches under his guidance, marking the club’s worst run in its 143-year history.

  With the team now sitting just one point above the Premier League relegation zone, the Supporters’ Trust has called for “emergency action” to prevent a catastrophic slide.

  Asked about his future following the Madrid humiliation, a dejected Tudor offered only a “no comment,” signaling the likely end of his brief North London stay.

• Official: Serie A confirm Roma’s Wesley, five others

  Roma’s Wesley Franca and five other Serie A players have been hit with one-match suspensions following the conclusion of the league’s 27th round of fixtures.

  The Lega Serie A has officially confirmed a one-match suspension for Roma wing-back Wesley Franca following the Giallorossi’s 3-3 draw with Juventus.

  The Brazilian defender collected his fifth caution of the season at the Stadio Olimpico, triggering an automatic ban.

  Consequently, Wesley will be unavailable for Sunday’s league encounter against Daniele De Rossi’s Genoa as Roma continues their push for European qualification.

  Joining Wesley on the sidelines are five other players following the latest round of fixtures.

  Sassuolo’s Andrea Pinamonti received a straight red card, while Fabiano Parisi, Remo Freuler, Filippo Terracciano, and Lautaro Valenti all reached the yellow card threshold.

  Regarding the disciplinary action, league officials confirmed that Wesley “will now have to serve a one-match ban when the Giallorossi go up against Daniele De Rossi’s Genoa.”

• Inter Milan to offer Cristian Chivu improved deal despite UCL heartbreak

  Inter Milan plan to reward manager Cristian Chivu with a long-term contract extension and a salary increase despite the club’s recent Champions League exit against Bodo/Glimt.

  ​Inter Milan remain committed to securing manager Cristian Chivu’s future with a new long-term deal.

  Despite a disappointing Champions League elimination by Bodo/Glimt, club president Beppe Marotta intends to offer the Romanian coach an extension until 2029.

  Chivu, who took over following Simone Inzaghi’s departure, has impressed the board by moving “one step away from winning the Scudetto” during his debut season in Milan.

  ​The 45-year-old was appointed last summer after Inter was “turned down by Como boss Cesc Fabregas.”

  Although he arrived with limited senior experience, Chivu’s domestic success has outweighed European frustrations.

  The hierarchy is now prepared to increase his salary to reflect his status. This move reaffirms the club’s faith in his leadership as they look to finalize their dominance in Serie A this term.
