Calhanoglu, Dalot, Rebic and Theo all one card from a suspension.

That should be a worry for the next match - we should be able to beat Cagliari missing a player or two.

As long as Dalot isn't playing as a sub, Theo can risk his yellow. And, similarly if Hakan does, we have Diaz, and if Rebic does, we have Leao. Rather limit it to 1-2 if we can avoid anything else in terms of racking up cards. Cagliari will still be a tough game. If Benevento/Spezia/Torino take anything from their game(s) in hand, then they could potentially still be in the relegation fight next week, only two by Benevento. Hopefully not though, and the pressure is off them. As for us, I'd rather not miss too many for this weekend's game so we can wrap up CL qualification before we face Atalanta.

lol what?

I would rather be missing a player or two against Cagliari than against Atalanta.

Against Cagliari if we play with the attention to detail as we did with Juve we should risk very little.

Agreed.

We have to win this match or we are in trouble right?

Depends how other results go. A win really increases our CL chances to a high probability, but anything else can be offset if Juventus drop points to Inter and any other game given we beat Cagliari and take something from Atalanta, while if Lazio drop points in any game they should really be out of CL race. This is based on Napoli and Atalanta both also securing CL with Inter.

Fatih Terim curse. Who said that though, is that true?

Milan have not won an away match against Torino since December 2012, when Robinho, Nocerino, Pazzini and El Shaarawy all scored in a 4-2 victory.

So simply put if we fuck up then we will be pinning our hopes and dreams on other clubs especially our rivals. Not something i am very keen on. Would like to reach CL on our own.

Technically it depends on other teams yes, since we most likely lose a 3-way tie due to how H2H works in that scenario since it would be one of Napoli/Atalanta, Juventus, and us in that mini-table.

Otherwise, we would need to win Cagliari and Atalanta, so even if Juventus win against Inter and their last game we are even on points while also hoping Atalanta/Napoli are not on the same number of points (78 in this case) as us.
