Matches between Liverpool and AC Milan in the Champions League are renowned for their historical significance and the intense atmosphere they generate.
Given the rich history and prestige of both clubs, this week’s clash at the San Siro should be a highly anticipated event.
However, Calciomercato reports an unusual situation regarding ticket sales for the upcoming fixture.
With the San Siro’s capacity exceeding 75,000, more than 20,000 seats remain unsold. As of now, only 55,000 tickets have been purchased, prompting Milan to extend the general sale until the matchday to ensure fans have the opportunity to attend, even at the last minute.
Milan’s form and fan sentiment
AC Milan’s recent performance may be contributing to the lack of excitement. The Rossoneri struggled in their initial games of the season, going winless in their first three matches.
However, they did manage a convincing 4-0 victory over Venezia last weekend, which was hoped to signal a turnaround in form.
Despite this win, the anticipated buzz around facing Liverpool seems to be missing. This lack of enthusiasm is surprising given the fixture’s historical context and the calibre of both teams.
The San Siro might still fill up as matchday approaches, but the current ticket sales suggest a level of dissatisfaction among the Milan faithful. This situation highlights a disconnect between the fans and the club, potentially reflecting broader concerns about the team’s performance and prospects.
