Overview

  • AC Milan defeated last-place Monza 2-0 in their final Serie A match, finishing seventh and missing out on European qualification by one point.
  • Goals from Matteo Gabbia and Joao Felix secured the win, but fan protests overshadowed the game both inside and outside the San Siro stadium.
  • Thousands of supporters marched to Casa Milan and staged a walkout during the match, calling for owner Gerry Cardinale to sell the club.
  • Frustration among fans stems from the Champions League elimination, poor league performance, and the controversial dismissal of Paolo Maldini in 2023.
  • RedBird Capital Partners, which purchased the club in 2022, faces mounting pressure to address leadership decisions and restore Milan's competitive stature.
