The aftermath of AC Milan’s Europa League exit on Thursday focused on the fact Serie A has only one representative remaining in both European competitions this season—Roma.
While the Rossoneri have stuttered since the turn of the year, the disappointment in exiting narrowly to Manchester United in the last 16 ought to be channelled into meeting their pre-season target of playing Champions League football next season.
In truth, there’s an inclination to grumble over their elimination by the Red Devils, especially as the tie could have turned out differently had Franck Kessie’s well-taken finish counted at Old Trafford.
