Como Hold Milan to the Wire as Allegri’s Title Push Stalls Again
Good evening and we turn now to northern Italy, where a quiet lakeside city became the stage for a tense and revealing night in Serie A. Como versus AC Milan may not sound like a blockbuster on paper, but this match carried real weight and by the final whistle, it delivered far more drama than many expected.
This fixture came with its own unusual backstory. It was delayed, even briefly planned to be played overseas, before finally settling back home at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, right on the edge of Lake Como. And once the football began, it felt anything but ordinary.
AC Milan arrived under pressure. Still unbeaten away from home and chasing Inter at the top, Max Allegri’s side badly needed three points. But recent draws had already slowed their momentum and once again, Milan looked slightly off rhythm. Solid, controlled, but not ruthless.
Como, meanwhile, continue to be one of the season’s most fascinating stories. Not long ago, they were far from Italy’s top flight. Now, under Cesc Fabregas, they are fearless, organized and ambitious. Sixth in the table, unbeaten at home and playing with the confidence of a team that believes it belongs.

On the pitch, the contrast was clear. Milan had experience and pedigree. Como had energy, structure and hunger. The hosts pressed bravely, moved the ball quickly and refused to sit back. Milan found chances, but they struggled to dominate. Key players were rotated carefully, with Christian Pulisic starting on the bench as Allegri managed fitness concerns and that decision was felt in the final third.
As the game wore on, it became a battle of patience. Milan pushed, Como resisted and the atmosphere tightened with every minute. When the final whistle came, the draw felt earned, but also costly, especially for the visitors.
For Milan, it is another missed opportunity. The unbeaten run lives on, but draws do not win titles and Inter remain firmly in control at the top. Allegri’s calm approach keeps Milan steady, but questions are growing about whether caution is costing them momentum.
For Como, this result sends a louder message. They are not just surviving. They are competing. Holding Milan at home reinforces their European ambitions and strengthens Fabregas’ growing reputation as a coach who demands courage and clarity from his players.
So, as Serie A moves forward, this match may be remembered as more than just a draw. It was a sign of shifting balance, where tradition meets ambition and where even giants like Milan must fight for every inch.
That’s the latest from Como, where the lake stayed calm, but the title race did not.
