Allegri on facing Pisa: “THEY’RE DANGEROUS AT HOME, NEED TO BE CAREFUL”

AC Milan Coach Massimiliano Allegri’s thoughts from Milanello ahead of the Serie A Week 25 game Pisa v AC Milan on Friday 13 February 2026. It’s the eve of matchday 25 in the league, with Allegri set to address the media at Milanello.

AHEAD OF THE PISA GAME

At the moment, they’re playing quite well, especially at home. They create plenty of opportunities and stay in the match right until the very end. We’ll need to take extra care, especially in terms of set pieces. Before the Derby, we’ll take on Pisa, Cremonese, and Parma, who are all teams that we only took two points in the first half of the season, and in the second half, every point matters. As well as that, it’s a crucial matchday because other teams will be involved in direct clashes. It won’t be an easy match, but we have the opportunity to move a step closer to our goal: securing a spot in the Champions League. To come back from Pisa pleased with ourselves, we need to secure a positive result, and for that we need to deliver a strong performance.”

BOND WITHIN THE SQUAD

“There’s some competition within the squad, and that’s healthy. It’s normal for those who aren’t getting minutes to be frustrated with me, but when they’re called up, they need to contribute. Teammates have to support each other on the pitch. We organised the dinner because someone had paid fines. Nkunku is a sensitive guy, and I told him he should smile a little more; he just needed time to settle in, but he has excellent technique, and it’s clear from how he plays.

OUR AIMS

“I’m glad that everyone is so ambitious that they want to give their best. Right now, we’re in a good position on the table, but the closer we get to the Champions League spots, the better we’ll be placed at the end of the season. In Serie A, it’s never easy or straightforward to win. Our aim is still to return to the Champions League, and for now, we’re still in the running for it. I’m pleased with how we’ve been playing so far. We could have definitely done better in the Coppa Italia; that’s our only regret, but we’re focused on where we need to be. Inter, Napoli, Juve, and Roma are strong, and we’ll need to be in excellent form until the very end of this season.”

INJURY UPDATES

“Pulisic is available again, though he has probably only got 15-20 minutes in his legs. Leão is also doing much better, and we’ll have Gimenez back in about a month. Saelemaekers is still not available, but we’ll see if he can recover in time for the clash against Como on Wednesday.”

THE OLYMPICS

I’d like to congratulate Brignone; coming back in the way that she has is not a simple task, but absolute determination allows you to perform at that level. As for the medal count, we Italians like to joke that we’re the worst, but in the end, we deliver the results. The athletes are winning medals and doing very well. We should be very proud of what we achieve; our sporting history speaks for itself. Seeing Baresi carrying the torch was truly moving. Now we’re looking forward to welcoming him to Milanello; it’s been a while since he last visited. These Olympics are good for Italy.”

👉Luge to die for: triumph in the women’s and men’s doubles. Celebration in Cortina with Mattarella.

Spectacular!

Today we’re also dreaming with Goggia, Brignone, Fontana, and Lollobrigida.

First came the Voetter-Oberhofer pair, an hour later Rieder and Kainzwaldner with a memorable comeback: this double feat is historic. And tonight we’ll try again in the mixed relay. Italy rises to four gold medals and third place in the medal table: the President applauds.

👉 Saturday, Inter-Juve
Spalletti, two seasons in black and blue, ending with tension and spite

Lucio’s venom

The rumor of the Croatian’s possible return inflames and divides the Torino fans.

Understanding the UEFA Champions League Structure

According to UEFA.com, starting this season, the rankings from the league phase will also play a crucial role in determining the seeding for the quarter-finals and semi-finals, in addition to the existing seeding for the knockout phase play-offs and the round of 16, as was the case last season.

In this context, the teams that are seeded for the quarter-finals (i.e., those that finish in the top four at the conclusion of the league phase) will benefit from playing the second leg of their quarter-final match at home, provided they advance that far.

Moreover, the teams seeded for the semi-finals (i.e., those that finish first and second at the end of the league phase) will also have the advantage of hosting the second leg of their semi-final match at home if they reach that level. However, if a seeded team is defeated in any round, the team that eliminates them will inherit their seeding position.

How the new 48-team 2026 World Cup works

StickyHistory and facts 2026

The 2026 edition will be larger than anything the competition has seen before.

Previous tournaments from 1998 to 2022 included 32 nations and 64 fixtures in total. This time, the event expands to 48 participants and 104 matches. Merely trimming the field to 32 sides will already require 72 fixtures, which is eight more than the entire schedule of a 32-team format.

Although three countries are co-hosting, the United States will stage far more than any other nation has ever managed in a single competition. It will host 14 more fixtures than the previous record and 26 more than it did when the event came to its soil in 1994.

The first 27 days of action, from the curtain raiser through the last-32 round, will feature 96 contests without a single rest day. Only one day will stage a solitary clash, and two other days will include two fixtures. All the remaining 24 days will deliver between three and six matches.

By the final week of the group stage, the calendar will be jam-packed. From June 24 to 27, 18 games will be played—more than the entire total of the 1934 edition, which only had 17.

The abandoned plan of three-team groups

Originally, FIFA had considered creating 16 trios instead of 12 groups of four.

That plan would have produced 80 fixtures in total, noticeably fewer than 104. It would also have been simpler to follow, with the two best teams moving straight into the round of 32 to face each other in a clear bracket.

However, every team would only have been assured two matches, not three. More importantly, the structure would have been vulnerable to manipulation. With three-team groups, only three fixtures could be played, and no two at the same time. That meant one team would always complete its games earlier, leaving the final fixture open to scenarios where both sides knew exactly what outcome would secure progress.

The risk of collusion across 16 groups proved too significant, and the plan was eventually dropped despite its more compact design.

The adopted system of 12 groups of four

Instead, the competition will use 12 sections of four, echoing the approach of earlier tournaments such as the 1986, 1990, and 1994 World Cups, or more recent 24-team European Championships.

The formula is straightforward: the top two from each group advance, and they are joined by the eight best third-placed nations to complete the last 32.

It is less tidy than the three-team plan, but it ensures fairness and avoids the controversies that might have arisen otherwise.

The expanded knockout rounds

Once the field has been reduced to 32, the knockout journey follows a familiar path. The difference is simply scale.

Group winners will mostly be paired against third-placed finishers, although four of them will meet runners-up. Meanwhile, the remaining runners-up will be matched against each other.

From there, the tournament progresses in the traditional order: round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final.

For the first time, the eventual champion will need to play eight matches rather than seven, adding one extra step on the road to lifting the trophy.

Here are all the important dates, the teams competing in the initial rounds, when the major teams will join, and the final date.

When does the 2025/26 Coppa Italia Frecciarossa commence?

The Coppa Italia for the 2025/26 season will kick off on Friday, August 9, beginning with the preliminary round featuring the match between Virtus Entella and Ternana.

On Saturday, August 10, three exciting matches are scheduled:
  • Padova vs. L.R. Vicenza
  • Pescara vs. Rimini
  • Avellino vs. Audace Cerignola
From August 15 to 18, the Serie B teams along with the first teams from Enilive Serie A will compete in the thirty-second finals.

The event kicks off on Friday the 15th at 18:00 with Empoli taking on Reggiana, and the final match will feature Torino against Modena, set for Monday the 18th at 21:15. Additionally, it’s exciting to note Milan’s debut, as they will compete against Bari at the Meazza on Sunday, August 17th at 21:15.

Coppa Italia Frecciarossa 2025/26 Schedule and key dates
  • Preliminary round: August 9-10, 2025
  • Thirty-second finals: August 15-18, 2025
  • Sixteenth finals: starting September 24, 2025
  • Round of 16: December 3-17, 2025
  • Quarter-finals: February 4-11, 2026
  • Semi-finals (first leg and second leg): March – April 2026
  • Final: May 13, 2026
When do the Enilive Serie A seeds enter?

The 8 seeds will enter the tournament in December, starting from the round of 16:

  • Bologna
  • Napoli
  • Inter
  • Atalanta
  • Juventus
  • Roma
  • Fiorentina
  • Lazio
Possible derbies and crossovers in the draw

One of the main novelties of the new calendar is that potential derbies between Serie A teams (Inter-Milan, Roma-Lazio or Juventus-Torino) can only occur in the final, unlike what happened in the last edition when the Milan derby was played in the semi-finals.

The reigning champions Bologna, winners of the last edition against Milan, could start from the round of 16 with an evocative Emilian derby against Parma, with a possible challenge to the Rossoneri in the quarterfinals. Another possible crossover between two recent former finalists is that between Juventus and Atalanta – Juventus won in the 2023/24 edition – which could also take place in the quarterfinals.

Coppa Italia Frecciarossa 2025/26 final: when is it played?

The final of the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa 2025/26 will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Wednesday 13 May 2026.
