Milan in the hands of Juventus: this is how the Rossoneri can reach UCL qualification

Two victories in six days and AC Milan are back in the Champions League race. After beating Bologna 2-1, Gennaro Gattuso's men defeated Fiorentina away from home. A success that brings the Rossoneri back to three points away from Atalanta and, temporarily, one point from Inter Milan, fourth in the standings waiting to play against Chievo on Monday.

Two consecutive victories have been missing at Milan for two months before the derby lost against Inter, which suddenly seemed to have switched off the lights of Gattuso's team.

The results give confidence to Romagnoli and co. However, Milan is forced to hope for a false step by its rivals, above all Atalanta. Two victories against Frosinone and Spal may not be enough and the Rossoneri will have to cheer for Juventus, who will host Gasperini's Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium next Sunday.

With a draw, Atalanta would go to the last match against Sassuolo like into a derby, aware of having the Champions League matchpoint. If, on the other hand, Juve were to win and Milan would do the same, the Rossoneri would be ahead of Atalanta in terms of head-to-head matches and thus also in the standings.
