Serie A - Parma VS Milan: Does Milan really have no shortage of genuine centers?

6:30pm, 8 November 2025【Football】

AC Milan, the traditional giant of Serie A, has always had many powerful centers in its history, including Inzaghi, Ibrahimovic, Balotelli, Giroud... What about now?

Among the four forwards, Leo is a winger, Nkunku is not considered a forward, Pulisic is a winger, and only S. Jimenez is considered a center forward.

The 26-year-old Leo, the most valuable player in the team (70 million euros), was once called the "Portuguese Mbappe". He has 4 goals and 1 assist in 7 games this season. His statistics are already quite good. Leo himself is not known for his scoring statistics.

Nkunku has 1 goal in 7 games and is the Serie A summer champion. The 37 million euros transfer fee paid by AC Milan for him is basically in vain.

The top scorer Pulisic currently has 6 goals and 2 assists in 8 games.

On the whole, it is famous but not famous, and it is necessary to have data but no data. From the late 1980s when it was almost invincible to the 2010s when the glory of the wealthy team has faded, the current forward line can be said to be the most mediocre in the history of the Rossoneri.

AC Milan's current forward configuration is far behind Naples, Inter Milan, and Juventus.

Parma VS AC Milan

Match nature: Serie A 11th round

Match time: November 9, 3:45

Current Serie A points On the list, Parma ranks 16th with 7 points from 10 games, 1 win, 4 draws, 5 losses, only 1 point higher than Genoa in the relegation zone, 2 points more than second-to-last Verona, and only 3 points more than last-place Fiorentina. The prospect of relegation is not optimistic.

AC Milan ranks third with 21 points from 10 games, 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, 1 point less than the leader Naples, the same points as the second Inter Milan and the fourth Roma, and 3 points more than the fifth Bologna and sixth Juventus.

Judging from the current situation, AC Milan still has hope of competing for the championship in theory, but the competition is quite fierce. With the strength of AC Milan's current lineup, it would be quite good to finally qualify for the Champions League.

At the pre-match press conference, AC Milan coach Allegri responded to the topic of the lack of a genuine center, "Absolutely not. We have Jimenez, who can make a lot of contributions to the team. We can even play without a forward, which sometimes goes more smoothly. Then, Nkunku and Rai O can also serve as a center. "

In 10 rounds of Serie A, AC Milan scored 15 goals and conceded 7 goals. The offense and defense were not bad. During the same period, they scored 1 goal less than the leader Naples, 1 goal more than Juventus, and conceded fewer goals than Naples, Inter Milan, and Juventus.

Parma has 1 win, 5 draws and 4 losses in the past 10 games in all competitions. In the past 5 rounds of Serie A, it has 2 draws, 3 losses, no wins and 2 consecutive losses.

AC Milan is undefeated in the past 10 games in all competitions with 7 wins and 3 draws.

In the past 10 meetings between the two sides, Parma was at a disadvantage with 1 win, 2 draws and 7 losses. Last season, the two sides tied in two Serie A rounds, each defeating the other at home.

AC Milan has an excellent record against strong teams this season, but has lost a lot of points against weak teams. In this battle, it may be a small victory.
