AC Milan's Champions League Nightmare: What’s Next for the Rossoneri?
AC Milan’s season just went from bad to worse. The Rossoneri crashed out of the Champions League in shocking fashion, losing to Feyenoord in a match that should have been theirs for the taking. It wasn’t just about the result—it was the way they lost. A self-inflicted disaster, with Theo Hernandez’s reckless red card turning the tide and leaving Milan in total disarray.
It all started so well. Milan took the lead almost instantly through Santiago Gimenez, the man they signed from Feyenoord in January. For a moment, it felt like the script was perfect—Gimenez knocking out his old team and Milan cruising into the last 16. But then, chaos.

Theo Hernandez, in what can only be described as a moment of madness, picked up a second yellow card for diving. It was unnecessary. Milan was in control, Feyenoord had barely threatened, and yet, one mistake changed everything. Down to ten men, Milan lost their grip on the game, and in the 73rd minute, Julian Carranza delivered the fatal blow with a towering header. Feyenoord celebrated. Milan crumbled.
So what now? This exit is more than just a disappointing night—it’s a symbol of a deeper crisis. The club made big moves in January, sacking Paulo Fonseca and bringing in Sergio Conceicao as coach. The idea was to save the season, but instead, it has spiraled further into chaos. Now, serious questions hang over the squad and the club’s leadership, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has taken on a key role in the project.
Players like Christian Pulisic and Joao Felix were brought in to elevate Milan back to the top, but inconsistency has plagued them. Kyle Walker, a seasoned leader, was meant to stabilize the defense, yet Milan still looks fragile in big games. The team just doesn’t seem to have the mentality needed to compete at the highest level.
And then there’s the bigger picture—Milan’s long-term project. They’ve spent money, they’ve made changes, but results like this raise serious doubts about the direction of the club. Fans are frustrated, and the pressure is mounting.
With the Champions League dream now dead, Milan must regroup quickly for the Serie A campaign. But with morale at an all-time low and uncertainty surrounding key players and the coaching staff, the road ahead looks anything but easy. The Rossoneri need answers—fast.
