Fabio compares AC Milan's season to being in a relationship with someone undiagnosed bipolar.

This episode is a season review for AC Milan, hosted by the Milan Weekly Podcast team including Steve, Fabio, and Gio. The hosts, representing North American fan perspectives, analyze the club's disappointing Serie A campaign and its fallout. The discussion centers on fan protests during the final match against Monza, where the Curva Sud staged a walkout after 15 minutes. The hosts criticize the club's ownership, particularly Gerry Cardinale, and the decisions to fire Paolo Maldini and sell Sandro Tonali. They argue the season was inconsistent, with highs like beating Inter and Real Madrid followed by poor losses to teams like Verona. The hosts debate whether key players like Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leão should be sold, with opinions split on their futures. They express frustration that the Serie A title was "up for the taking" due to Napoli's struggles and Inter's focus on other competitions, but Milan failed to capitalize. A recurring comparison is made to Inter Milan, which the hosts say retains its core players like Lautaro Martínez and Nicolò Barella, unlike Milan. One surprising claim is that selling Tonali may have given his career a "lifeline" by moving him to England before his gambling scandal fully emerged in Italy. The hosts note the financial disparity between leagues, citing examples like Florian Wirtz being valued at €160 million while Serie A sells stars for less. A memorable moment is Gio's emotional reaction to Tonali's sale, noting Tonali was his daughter's favorite player. The hosts also criticize captain Davide Calabria for comments about the club and question why young prospect Francesco Camarda didn't get more playing time in the final match. The tone is passionate, confrontational, and deeply frustrated, blending raw fan emotion with analytical critique. The style is a free-flowing, conversational debate among friends, often punctuated by humor and profanity. This episode will deeply resonate with AC Milan fans seeking a cathartic, unfiltered post-mortem of a frustrating season. Listeners who prefer structured, formal football analysis or are sensitive to strong language might want to skip it.
