Milan thrashed Austria Wein 5-1 today. Will be interested to see if they make a deep run in this competition. I think they can finish third in Serie A but would be nice to see four Italian teams back in the CL. If Juve, Napoli, Roma, and Milan all made it next season that would be great for Italian football and surely Milan has as good a chance as any in the Europa League.
I think Italy are guaranteed 4 Champions league spots from next season anyway. Think the rule change kicks in next season, top 4 nations get 4 teams automatically qualified for the Champions League group stages.
That said this might be Milan's best chance if they continue to play how they did against Lazio last weekend.
