Costacurta: I like Milan's approach but I don't see a title-winning side yet

Former Milan defender Alessandro Costacurta believes Milan have started to show positive signs under Ruben Amorim. However, Costacurta said he does not yet see Rossoneri as a serious candidate for the Serie A title. In his view, the team's approach on the pitch is commendable, but it does not give the impression of a title-winning side.

Milan are unbeaten after eight matches of the 2026-27 season. Inter, Lazio and Roma are also producing the same level of performance. This has gone on record as the first time four teams have remained unbeaten after eight matches at the start of a new Serie A season. Milan recovered after losing to Bournemouth in the Europa League, winning 2-0 away at Udinese.

Speaking to Sky, Costacurta said the players were following their coach's instructions very closely. He particularly praised their forward runs and the attacking pressure they applied not only when losing the ball but also when building up play. In his view, this is the biggest difference the team has shown so far.

Since arriving at Milan, Amorim has tried different formations and systems and changed the starting eleven frequently. Davide Bartesaghi, who had to wait for his chance during this period, was one of the standout names in the Udinese match. Costacurta praised Bartesaghi for getting involved both with and without the ball and for playing with quality.
