The piece highlights AC Milan's difficulties during the ongoing Serie A season, where they have faltered significantly, especially at home, losing key matches to teams like Cremonese and Parma, and drawing with Sassuolo and Pisa. These results have left them 10 points adrift of rivals Inter Milan in the scudetto race, emphasizing the disconnect between their performance and goal-scoring effectiveness.

Throughout the season, the author notes that Milan's performances have been inconsistent, particularly regarding their ability to convert chances into goals. Despite moments of creativity on the pitch, the team has struggled to find the finishing touch, which is critical in accumulating points in such a competitive league. The frustration in the camp is palpable as the team seeks to rediscover its form in both domestic and European competitions.

With the Champions League looming, the article suggests that Milan's current form raises concerns about their prospects in this prestigious tournament. The comparison to former greats like Maradona, in reference to player Yildiz, highlights the unrealistic expectations placed on young talents. The overarching concern is whether the current squad can lift their performance enough to make a meaningful impact in the Champions League or if they will face a catastrophic outcome, given their recent form in Serie A.
