MWP - Milan humble the champions

·1 hr 12 min·5 clips

Milan stuns Napoli with two goals in the first half, led by Pulisic's brilliant play.

This episode of the Milan Weekly Podcast recaps AC Milan's Serie A victory over Napoli and previews the upcoming match against Juventus. Hosts Fabio, Stevie P, and Gio, all passionate Milan supporters, analyze the team's performance and the Serie A landscape. The hosts are in a celebratory mood following Milan's win, which they frame as a humbling of the reigning champions. The main discussion centers on Milan's 2-1 win, highlighting Christian Pulisic's early assist to Olivier Giroud and his later goal from a Rafael Leão layoff. The hosts praise the team's dominant first-half midfield control, specifically naming Rade Krunić and Yunus Musah for their work rate. A pivotal moment was the second-half red card and penalty conceded by defender Juan Miranda, which allowed Napoli to score and forced Milan to defend with ten men. Goalkeeper Mike Maignan's key saves are credited for preserving the lead. The hosts award their "three stars" of the game to Pulisic, Giroud, and the veteran Luka Modrić, while labeling Miranda the "donkey" for his costly foul. They debate whether Miranda's mistake negates any prior progress, with Gio arguing his performances have been consistently poor. A surprising claim is that this first half represented the best soccer Milan has played in two years, attributed to manager Stefano Pioli's rejuvenated tactical system. The hosts argue that a strong midfield is masking defensive weaknesses, similar to past successful Juventus teams. An interesting moment involves Stevie P expressing jealousy that Inter Milan's youth prospect, a player named Esposito, scored before Milan's own star youth player, Francesco Camarda. The hosts also discuss the return of Milan's ultras, the Curva Sud, and its impact on the stadium atmosphere. They briefly promote their sponsor, Vintage Pitch Apparel, a t-shirt company. The tone is highly conversational, enthusiastic, and fan-focused, filled with inside jokes, nicknames for players, and playful banter between the hosts. The style is informal and reactionary, blending game analysis with broader Serie A commentary and audience interaction through super chats. This episode is ideal for dedicated AC Milan fans who enjoy detailed, passionate post-match breakdowns and club-centric banter. Listeners seeking a neutral, analytical league review or those unfamiliar with the hosts' specific humor and nicknames might want to skip it.
