The Fall of a Giant: AC Milan Collapse, Europe Now Just a Dream

San Siro, May 2025 — Once the kings of Europe, AC Milan now find themselves without even a ticket to the UEFA Conference League. This isn’t just a failure. This is the collapse of a football empire.

A dark night in Rome, where Milan were beaten 3-1 by AS Roma, marked their final downfall. Just days after losing the Coppa Italia final, the Rossoneri have now officially lost everything.

It Began With a Red Card, It Ended in Ruin

The game was only 21 minutes old when Santiago Gimenez was sent off for elbowing Gianluca Mancini. VAR confirmed the decision, and the red card changed the game entirely. Milan lost their balance, lost their discipline—and ultimately, lost their season.

Roma wasted no time. Mancini opened the scoring with a header from a corner. Milan responded with a goal from Joao Felix after Alex Jimenez’s shot was parried—but it was short-lived. Leandro Paredes struck from a free kick, and Cristante delivered the final blow with a long-range rocket past Maignan.

Sergio Conceicao Explodes: “We Failed in the Most Important Moments”

Head coach Sergio Conceicao, once hailed as the man to rebuild Milan, finally broke down. He was sent off from the touchline, and many believe this was his final game in charge.

“I couldn’t be with my players. I just asked for respect and I was sent off. Since I arrived, our stats show we should be in the top four,” he said, bitterly.
“We won the Supercoppa, reached the Coppa Italia final, but in the biggest games—we always collapsed. That’s what killed us.”

Milan: No Identity, No Direction

This season wasn’t just a bad run of form. It was an identity crisis. Milan looked lost on the pitch, disjointed off it. No tactical clarity, no stability, no leadership. The Supercoppa win now feels like a distant memory, buried under layers of inconsistency and disappointment.

Now they head into the summer with open wounds:

• No European qualification

• No confirmed head coach

• A disoriented squad, and exhausted fans

Is This the End of an Era?

For many Milanisti, this isn’t just another failed season. It’s a signal that a full-scale rebuild is no longer optional—it’s necessary. From the dressing room to the boardroom, change must come.

San Siro is no longer a fortress.
The Rossoneri are no longer feared.
And for the first time in over a decade, Milan haven’t just failed—they’ve lost hope.
