#scudetto

I will always put Milan above everything else and I think I know what I can give. I have a lot of confidence in myself as a player and I feel like I haven't shown it yet.

I think everyone knows that I can play in different roles and that I give my all wherever I play. This season I've played a few times as a striker or in midfield, but wherever I play I'll try to help create or score goals. I'm happy to do so.

Maldini's return to AC Milan in 2018 as technical director was met with excitement, leading to a Scudetto victory, highlighting his significant impact on the club.

SSC Napoli can confirm that Romelu Lukaku did not respond to today's call to return to training. The club reserves the right to consider taking the appropriate disciplinary action.

Rafael Leao's position change has caught the attention of many, and Fabio Capello has suggested that he may be AC Milan's best option. If Milan were to lift the Scudetto this season, at least right now, several people could be credited with that success. Mike Maignan's saves have been pivotal, Massimiliano Allegri's tactics have been near perfect and then there is Leao.

It will be a derby that marks an era: the first as co-owners of San Siro. The Milan derby is unique in the world; you can see friends and family walking to the stadium wearing Inter and Milan jerseys: that makes it special, and that's why the atmosphere is so great. When I try to understand why Milan and Inter, off the pitch, have had such a complicated yet always harmonious journey, I think of Milan.

Stefano Pioli would have hoped for a birthday present on the pitch for his 60th birthday, but his former club, AC Milan, denied that wish. Whilst his time at San Siro came to an unfortunate ending, perhaps hindered by his overextended stay at the helm, no one views the Italian in a negative light. After all, he brought the 19th Scudetto and relit the fire in the Rossoneri.

Romelu Lukaku will miss the start of Napoli's Serie A title defence after sustaining a thigh injury in their final pre-season friendly.
