MILAN FUTURO'S POSITIVE LEGACY

MILAN FUTURO'S POSITIVE LEGACY

The extra-time defeat away to ChievoVerona brought the second season of the Milan Futuro project to a close. The young Rossoneri more than held their own in a demanding and highly competitive Serie D campaign, particularly in a group filled with experienced sides well accustomed to the division and boasting greater maturity both in age profile and footballing experience. A fourth-place finish, the best attacking record in Group B, and several impressive results against the division's leading teams highlighted a positive campaign: including the four points collected against Folgore Caratese, who secured promotion to Serie C.

The most important legacy of the 2025/26 season, however, lies in the opportunities provided to so many products of our Youth Sector: from those who progressed through every age category at the PUMA House of Football, to players who came to Milano and joined the Rossoneri during the latter stages of their football education. "I think the season went fairly well, especially since we achieved our goal of helping every one of us improve," captain Emanuele Sala said. "I also think we grew a lot as a group. At the beginning, we needed time to come together: there were those arriving from outside, those who had already gone through the Under-23 pathway and those stepping up from the Primavera, so we didn't know each other particularly well. But little by little, day after day and training session after training session, we managed to become more and more of a team, more and more of a family*."*
