Game overview and key briefings from local media in Italy and Europe

In the fourth match of the 2026/27 UEFA Europa League league phase, Italian greats AC Milan and Hungarian champions Ferencvárosi TC will clash at the San Siro in Milan. Italy's la Repubblica·Tuttosport·Eurosport and Goal.com reported that despite a 3-1 win in the Milan derby against Inter, AC Milan under coach Rúben Amorim was stagnant in the Europa League with 1 win and 2 losses (3 points, 24th place), and the team that is taking the lead in all 3 matches (9 goals, 3 conceded, 4th place) in the early stages of the competition. We focused on Ferencvaros' contrasting moves.

Challenges to overcome AC Milan's power and defense/goal absence variables

•

Coach Huben Amorim: “The derby victory is just a thing of the past, it’s time to put things right on the European stage”: At the pre-press conference, Coach Amorim emphasized that he would not be intoxicated by the victory against Inter and would lay the foundation for advancement to the top ranks of the Europa League.

•

Pulisic takes the lead amid suspension of Maignan and injuries to Tomori and Gabia: Starting goalkeeper Mike Maignan is absent due to suspension and center backs Fikayo Tomori and Matteo Gabbia are out due to injury, so new goalkeepers Lorenzo Torriani and Connie de Winter will protect the backline. In the attack line, Christian Pulisic, who celebrated the renewal of the contract and scored the derby goal, along with Yunus Musa, Ardon Yashari, and Diego Moreira lead the firepower.

Ferencvaros power and fierce counterattack with 9 goals in 3 games

•

Undefeated streak in Europa League under coach Balázs Borbély: Ferencvaros won all three previous Europa League games, showing off sharp offensive transition efficiency with an average of three goals per game.

•

Organizational power centered on Dibus goalkeeper and Birmančević and Zachariassen: Hungary national team goalkeeper Dénes Dibusz securely guards the last line, attacking midfielder Kristoffer Zachariassen and wing striker Veljko Birmančević and Owusu Kwabena of Milan We aim for the space behind the reorganized defense.

Summary of key points to watch

1. Rear stability of new goalkeeper Toriani and Milan's back three: The biggest question is whether the Milan defense, which is missing Menan, Tomori, and Gabia at the same time, can control Ferencvaros' quick counterattack without wavering.

2. Christian Pulisic's crack instinct: Attention will be paid to whether Pulisic, who is showing off his ultimate decision-making power, will be able to break down the opponent's dense defense and score the first goal at home at San Siro.
