Double mockery for AC Milan after defeat against Dinamo Zagreb, another trouble for Rossoneri. All the details
Quanto incassa il Milan dalla Champions (ANSA) – MilanLive.it
The Zagreb defeat for Milan was a total disaster. The Rossoneri, who had a chance to go to the Champions League round of 16 without going through the play-offs with a win, even managed the feat of losing, thus greatly complicating their path in Europe. In fact, Sergio Conceicao’s team ended up in the worst part of the table, with the possibility of finding themselves against one between Feyenoord and Juventus in the play-off and, if they passed the round, Inter or Arsenal in the round of 16. In short, Milan has ruined itself with its own hands and will now pay the consequences.
These include a schedule that will continue to not give Conceicao and his players a chance to rest and improve the quality of play because games will be played every three days throughout February. And in all this, the Bologna rematch will still be postponed, which could have been played in the next month with the move to the round of 16 without Play Offs. But the non-direct qualification also brings additional damages that are the ones most dear to society and RedBird: lost revenue.
Il Milan perde a Zagabria: doppia beffa
With direct passage to the round of 16, Milan would have earned 24 million. Now, instead, it will earn only 8.4 million. For the ownership this is the most serious damage of all because we know very well how very sensitive this club is to the issue of money and budget.

It cannot be called a detriment even for these last days of the market because we know so much that they would not be reinvested since the 20 million ceiling for purchase has already been reached for Gimenez. There remains, however, no small economic damage. Another problem then, adding to the resounding defeat in Zagreb that made Milan’s season even more disastrous.
Conceicao once again spoke rather harshly in the post-match: “In the first half we lacked the basics of soccer, that is, the will to win duels and to be aggressive,” he also said he was incredulous at the way the team entered the field for such an important Champions League match. Words very reminiscent of Fonseca’s after Red Star and on other occasions as well.
