Agent: Allegri 'never thought' he could win Scudetto; Leao not contributing

Milan’s defeat at the Olimpico hurt more than the scoreline suggested. Lazio needed only a goal from Isaksen after a blunder by Estupinan, who reverted to the mediocre form he has shown all season. The Rossoneri must now look over their shoulders, with Juventus in fifth place just seven points behind.

Giovanni Branchini spoke on Radio Anch’io Sport and described Massimiliano Allegri’s message as pragmatic and level-headed. He said Allegri "never thought about winning the Scudetto", never urged chasing Inter and has repeatedly warned the team to watch its back because the objective is Champions League qualification.

Some might have seen it as strategy; Branchini called it realism and honesty. On Leao’s future, Branchini left options open and stressed Milan’s internal dynamics are complex.
