AGE IS JUST A NUMBER: HOW 40-YEAR-OLD LUKA MODRIć SAVED MILAN IN PISA
Luka Modrić makes Serie A history with a late winner vs Pisa! Read the match report, Rabiot’s red card fallout, and Scudetto stats.
Luka Modric called his late winner against Pisa “crucial” for keeping Milan in the Scudetto race. Right after the match, Ruben Loftus-Cheek admitted he’d heard Max Allegri yelling from the sidelines, frustrated and loud as ever.
Honestly, this game in Pisa was way tougher than most people expected. Pisa already gave Milan trouble earlier in the season, earning a wild 2-2 draw at San Siro back in October.
Tonight, Loftus-Cheek got things started, scoring the opening goal. Then Niclas Füllkrug had a golden chance to stretch the lead, but he smacked his penalty off the post so close, but no luck.
Felipe Loyola brought Pisa level, and it looked like Milan might slip up again. But then Modric, somehow still going strong at 40, found another gear. He darted into the box, linked up with Samuele Ricci, and buried the winner.
After the match, Modric told DAZN Italia, “We couldn’t afford to drop points today. We knew how important these three points were if we wanted to keep fighting for the title, and we did it.”
He added, “We got a little too comfortable in the second half and lost focus; that’s when they scored. But we pushed on, attacked, and got the goal we needed. We’re happy with the win.”
Modric also said, “Serie A is tough. Every match is a battle, so we just have to keep working, improving, and focusing on the next one.”
With that goal, Modric became the third-oldest player ever to score in Serie A; only Alessandro Costacurta and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, both Milan legends, did it at an older age.
The Milan fans travelling to Pisa even gave Modric a chant once made famous by Napoli supporters for Diego Maradona. Modric couldn’t hide his grin: “It’s such a privilege to hear them sing for me. Thank you, it makes me really happy.”
As for Loftus-Cheek, he revealed that before his goal, Allegri kept shouting at him to make runs into the box and act more like a striker. “Pisa was so compact, it was hard to find space,” Loftus-Cheek said to DAZN Italia, still smiling. “But when the ball went wide, you could definitely hear him yelling, ‘Get in the box! Attack the box!’ Zack played a great cross, and I got on the end of it. Really happy with that.”
Adrien Rabiot got himself sent off in stoppage time with two yellows, one for a foul and another for arguing too much. Now he’ll miss the matches against Como and Inter.
With the title race heating up, people keep asking: Should Milan chase Inter at the top or just focus on holding onto a top-four spot? Loftus-Cheek kept it simple: “The most important thing is to focus on ourselves. Every game is so tough; you can’t look too far ahead. We have to go one game at a time, because every match is a real fight. If we get distracted by what other teams are doing, it’ll hurt us. We’ll see where we end up.”
DERBY D’ITALIA: LEAGUE LEADERS INTER MILAN HOST JUVENTUS IN A VALENTINE’S DAY BLOCKBUSTER
Inter Milan hosts Juventus on Feb 14. Discover team news, the combined XI controversy, and Lautaro Martinez's quest for 15 goals.
Inter Milan, sitting comfortably at the top of Serie A, welcomes a fired-up Juventus side on Saturday. This match has all the ingredients for drama. Inter’s got an eight-point cushion (58 from 24 games), while Napoli, still clinging to their status as defending champions, sit third on 49 points, just three ahead of Roma, who’ll be coming to town Sunday.
Juventus, wedged inside the top four, roll into Milan with only one loss in its last ten games. But Inter look scary right now; they’ve won five league matches in a row and just hammered Sassuolo for five goals last weekend.
Juventus have a chip on their shoulder, too, thanks to Corriere dello Sport stirring the pot this week. The paper claimed only three Juve players would make Inter’s starting eleven: Gleison Bremer, Khephren Thuram, and Kenan Yildiz. A little disrespect? Maybe. However, it shows that Juventus have quality in every part of the pitch.
Last weekend, Juventus showed they can dig deep. Down 2-0 at home to Lazio, they clawed back for a draw – not the points they wanted, but the fight will boost their confidence.
And don’t forget how Luciano Spalletti’s Juve tore Napoli apart two weeks ago with a 3-0 win. That one stung.
Now, Napoli gets ready for Roma with a real sense of urgency. Roma’s new loan signing, Dutch forward Donyell Malen, is on fire with three goals in four games under Gian Piero Gasperini. Gasperini’s already warning people: Malen’s going to rack up goals this season, as long as Roma keeps feeding him the ball. He’s got a whole bag of tricks up front.
Napoli are still dealing with injuries, but Antonio Conte’s got his team fighting. Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay, both former Manchester United players, have brought the energy Conte loves. The title defence isn’t easy. Conte admits being nine points back makes it tough—but with Roma in town, the atmosphere should be electric.
Looking elsewhere, AC Milan, currently second, head to Pisa on Friday night. Mike Maignan’s in top form in goal, while Luka Modric keeps things ticking in midfield.
Como, one of the season’s surprises, sits sixth. They host Fiorentina, who are desperate for points, on Saturday. And then Como travels to AC Milan midweek for a game that got bumped because of the Olympic opening ceremony.
Keep an eye on Lautaro Martinez this weekend. The little Argentine has 14 league goals already, and with Inter’s attack firing—57 goals in 24 games—he’ll be a handful for Juventus.
Here’s what’s coming up (all times GMT):
Friday: Pisa v AC Milan (1945)
Saturday: Como v Fiorentina (1400), Lazio v Atalanta (1700), Inter Milan v Juventus (1945)
Sunday: Udinese v Sassuolo (1130), Cremonese v Genoa, Parma v Verona (1400), Torino v Bologna (1700), Napoli v Roma, Cagliari v Lecce (1945)
Monday: Cagliari v. Lecce (1945)
MILAN STAY? NICLAS FULLKRUG "DESPERATE" TO LEAVE WEST HAM FOR PERMANENT ITALY MOVE
Niclas Fullkrug is desperate to stay at AC Milan. Discover if the Rossoneri will trigger the buy option for the West Ham loanee.
Niclas Füllkrug doesn’t have a future at West Ham. He wants to stay in Italy and keep playing for AC Milan after this season at least; that’s what Milan News is saying. Now it’s just a question of whether Milan actually wants to keep him around for good.
Milan can sign him if they want. So far, he’s only scored once in seven games, so he still has some convincing to do. He’s not exactly tearing it up, but there’s still time for him to make his case.
He’s technically under contract with West Ham until 2028, but let’s be honest, neither side wants a reunion. West Ham already brought in two new strikers. There’s no way Fullkrug gets much game time if he goes back. It just makes sense for him to move on and find a permanent home elsewhere.
West Ham wants to move him on, too. They don’t want him sitting on the bench taking up space, especially since he’s not in their plans anymore. Back in the winter window, they slapped a price tag on him before letting him leave on loan.
So, can Fullkrug convince Milan to keep him? He’s got experience and could add something to their squad, but it’s up to Milan to decide if he’s worth it. West Ham paid €26 million for him, but they won’t get close to that now. They’re probably looking at a loss.
Fullkrug needs a fresh start, and staying in Italy could be perfect for him. Regular minutes at Milan might help him rediscover his old form. He’s shown what he can do in Germany, and there’s no reason he can’t make an impact in Milan, too.
Now it’s all down to what happens over the next few months. Füllkrug has to step up, play well, and give Milan a reason to make the deal permanent.
