AC Milan faces financial and competitive crisis after Europa League defeat

AC Milan is facing significant sporting and financial instability following a 0:2 home defeat against Ferencvaros in the Europa League. The loss marks the club’s third defeat in four European matches, jeopardizing their chances of advancing to the knockout stages.

Head coach Ruben Amorim expressed intense frustration, reportedly criticizing the attitude and performance of eight players in the dressing room. Among those singled out were Alphadjo Cisse, Yunus Musah, and Luka Modrić. Amorim emphasized that the team’s lack of mental preparation and concentration was unacceptable, particularly during the first half.

Financial analysts warn that a premature exit from the competition could cost the club over 100 million euros in potential revenue, including UEFA prize money, ticket sales, and the loss of Champions League qualification bonuses.

As the club prepares for an upcoming Serie A match against Genoa, Amorim is expected to restore several starters to the lineup, including Mike Maignan and Christian Pulisic, in an attempt to stabilize the squad.
