Allegri reveals the point target Milan must hit to seal the Scudetto race

Allegri's threshold for the Scudetto

Massimiliano Allegri, Milan's coach, says the league title will be decided by a points tally between 82 and 84 this season.

Milan temporarily sit atop Serie A after a 3-0 win over Hellas Verona on Sunday, boosting confidence in their title push.

Allegri commented on Nkunku: "He's a good player who wants to perform well. He scored his first goal today, and after the penalty, he added another—he's capable of continuing to improve."

Outlook and key challenges

“As the race lengthens, so do the difficulties. The match against Cagliari will be tough, and we need everyone as we head into a decisive month through February,” Allegri said.

Captain Max noted the win came against a stubborn, fast opponent, and Milan must rebuild fitness across the squad, including Leão and Pulisic, to ensure a return to the Champions League next year. He also cited Capello’s warning that the task remains profoundly challenging.

Overall, Allegri reiterated that the title may hinge on 82-84 points, with a potential stretch to 86 if a team strings together several wins.

Max concluded that securing three points today was vital and that Milan must maintain momentum to finish the season strongly.

Punchline time: If 82-84 points is the recipe, Milan just baked the loaf—let's see if Verona gets a second slice. Also, the calendar won’t lie: the trophy stays with those who survive February’s test.
