Pos | Team | P | W | D | L | Goals | DIFF | Points |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
11 | Milan | 24 | 8 | 9 | 7 | 35:30 | 5 | 33 |
16 | Chievo | 24 | 6 | 6 | 12 | 18:30 | -12 | 24 |
Total shame for this AC Milan still unable to show consistency and the dream to reach towards the European Zone is more a dream than a reality. Milan obtaining only a 1 point after the goalless draw against Chievo Verona at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium. Chievo also failing to win the home game, but this 1 point helps them more than losing the entire 3 points.
Crisis is obvious for AC Milan and the question still on the air: “Should Coach Filippo Inzaghi be sacked?”
Neither forward Mattia Destro nor Jeremy Menez could save this Milan and the goals missing… actually, it seems the goals are on vacation. Pressure was for Milan to win the game, but Chievo resisted and did not allow a goal.

CHIEVO VERONA (4-4-2): Bizzarri; Mattiello, Cesar, Dainelli, Zukanović; Birsa, Izco, Schelotto, Hetemaj; Pellissier, Meggiorini.
