A victory and a clean sheet was a dream ending to an intensely strange season, but, as with each season ending, there was some heartbreak as well. Adreano and I talked about a lot of the news surrounding Milan, the last two wins of the season, and also got emotional talking about Bonaventura and other players leaving. It was all a little bittersweet.

Milan are still undefeated after the break, and have actually scored the most goals of any other team, too. But all of that was completely overshadowed this week by news off the pitch. On the one hand, Pioli was handed a well-deserved contract renewal. On the other hand, a nine month soap opera featuring Ralf Rangnick came to an end. Rui and I talked through all of it, and then asked ourselves how much do you trust Gazidis?

On this episode:

• News
• Milan-Bologna Review
• Sassuolo-Milan Review
• Milan-Atalanta Review
• Gazidis and the Pursuit of Ralf Rangnick

Milan are one of two teams that are undefeated since the break. That feels so amazing to stay. Despite the insane schedule of so many games in such a short time, as well as the heat, our players are showing incredible strength and stamina. Aaron and I talked about the last two matches and also Milan's finances, including becoming relevant with the RocNation deal.

First Lazio, then Juventus. Milan played both of the top teams within four days, and both matches were absolutely massive wins. A clean sheet and three goals against a Lazio team that was very exciting before the break, then coming back from two down to beat Juventus four to two was epic. Also a massive victory over years of controversy. Miguel broke down both matches with me as we kept the celebrations going.

Milan followed up a strong performance and result on Sunday with a very bizarre result against SPAL on Wednesday. As Rui and I discussed, though, the draw still had a lot of positives in terms of performances. Going into the next stretch of four very tough matches, it just feels like we are binging on football.

After a slightly traumatic Coppa Italia match, there was more trepidation about how Milan would come back in Serie A. That trepidation dissipated to the tune of 4-1 on Monday, and so it was great to be able to chat about Milan this time. Adreano and I discussed the games and touched on other things Milan, too, as we welcomed Milan back with a smile.

The three words I have been waiting to hear for three months now: Football is back. With Milan facing Juventus in the Coppa Italia Semifinal second leg on Friday, that dream is just a few days from becoming a reality. Speaking of reality, Miguel and I discussed some of the rumors that are Milan's reality these days. Hopefully, football will give us more to talk about than rumors.

The past few years, Milan have had one of the youngest teams in Europe. And yet, if you look at those players, how many of them have we failed? Looking back, youth development has been non-existent. Now, there is a new youth project rumored on the horizon, even though consistency seems to be the biggest way we have failed our youth in the past. Jesús and I looked back and then forward to talk about how Milan is still failing our youth.

On this episode:

• The Galliani Era
• Young players loaned and sold
• Criteria for developing youth
• Future youth project?
