Former Italy forward and current pundit Paolo Di Canio expressed strong doubts about AC Milan's chances against Bournemouth, stating he was "certain" the Rossoneri would struggle in the matchup. Di Canio also claimed that five or six Milan players would be good enough to start for city rivals Inter Milan.
The comments were reported by Football Italia on November 7, 2026. Di Canio, known for his outspoken analysis, did not elaborate on which specific players he believed could make the Inter lineup.
