The joke doing the rounds is that Leonardo Bonucci's move from Juventus to AC Milan managed to make both teams' defending worse. It's harsh, but it's also not a million miles removed from reality.

Bonucci's arrival forced Milan manager Vincenzo Montella to disassemble his scheme and switch to a back three. At this stage last year, they were third; currently, they're 11th. Meanwhile, Juve have dropped from first to fourth but, more worryingly, have conceded more than twice as many goals -- 13 to...

AC Milan were held to a goalless draw by AEK Athens at the San Siro on Thursday night as Milan produced an infuriatingly uninspiring performance. Vincenzo Montella's side remain top of Group D, but the Milan coach and players were rightly jeered off the pitch after the full-time whistle.

The last time these two giants of Italian football crossed paths, they played out an extraordinary and historic Derby della Madonnina.

On April 15, AC Milan and Inter clashed in the first lunchtime kick-off in the history of the fixture, just days after Yonghong Li had completed his takeover of the former to officially put both side sides under Chinese ownership. With the Chinese viewership in mind, a predicted 862,000,000-strong tuned in to what turned out to be a superb spectacle.
