Milan have had a successful season so far. Indeed, Massimiliano Allegri has already won. The side has been stabilised and put back into top-four solidity.

I'm very happy. We knew how important these three points were, especially as this match came after the international break. It's difficult to manage because we had a lot of players involved, most of them had travelled and played matches. It was the moment to win these three points.

The table is so tight that the title race and the fight to survive relegation looks like going to the wire, with teams battling for Europe still also looking over their shoulder at the relegation zone.

Rafael Leao is currently not expected to be able to start Monday night's game against Napoli, forcing Massimiliano Allegri to change his plans. Positive signs arrived regarding Leao's condition from Milanello on Thursday, but it's not yet clear whether they're conclusive.

Julian Nagelsmann's decision to consider Aleksander Pavlović alongside either Leon Goretzka or a more defensive option in midfield has sparked mixed reactions among fans, with some expressing joy and others skepticism.

I'm happy with Marcus, he plays well. The last few weeks he's had problems, he's been injured, so it's an opportunity for him. There are other options, Fermín, Gavi. I'm happy that Gavi is at a great level.

"Playing for Benfica, just like at Barça, is out of love. I have one year left on my contract; if I have to play in Saudi Arabia, I'll play; if I have to play in Europe, I'll play. It will depend on Al Hilal. When Barcelona calls, you can't refuse. I feel at home here; I've adapted very well."
