(Reuters) - It has been 11 years since AC Milan won their last Serie A title, but they need only draw at Sassuolo on Sunday to take home a Scudetto which has been elusive for far too long for a club of their grandeur.
The day has been a long time coming for Milan fans, with the club last winning the title under Massimiliano Allegri in 2010-11, before suffering a spectacular fall from grace.
After Allegri's departure in 2014, no fewer than six permanent coaches in five years tried and failed to turn things around, before Stefano Pioli came in to steady the ship.Milan hold a two-point lead over Inter Milan going into the final round of Serie A fixtures. Given they have a better head-to-head record over their bitter rivals, one point is all they need for a 19th top-flight title.
"We had 10,000 fans waiting for us as we drove through on the bus, that obviously fired everyone up. Now I expect another week like this." "Sassuolo are a very good side, they have a lot of individual talents," Inzaghi said after Inter's 3-1 win at Cagliari on Sunday. The final day drama culminates in a battle to avoid relegation, with Salernitana, against the odds, in control of their own destiny.
