Zvonimir Boban critiques Milan progress and names Champions League favourites

Former Milan midfielder Zvonimir Boban stated that AC Milan has shown minimal progress despite significant summer spending, highlighting only an improved commitment to attacking football. Boban expressed concern that the club remains far from the level of elite European sides despite opening the Serie A season with two victories against Torino and Venezia. He criticized the wider of Italian football, suggesting the tactical focus has shifted toward modernized three-man defensive structures that lack the pace of continental rivals. Looking ahead to the Champions League, Boban identified Barcelona, PSG, and Bayern Munich as the strongest contenders in the competition. He placed Arsenal as his fourth favourite to win the trophy as the league phase prepares to begin next week with matchups including Napoli against Arsenal and Real Madrid facing Inter.
