The only real objective that remains for the black and whites is and remains the championship. The eternal challenge between Virtus and Milan could be repeated on paper, but the Coppa Italia and such a compact Serie A standings confirm that the duopoly could be broken especially if teams like Trapani, Brescia and above all Trento, fresh winner of the tricolor rosette in Turin and sole leader, confirm how much good they are doing.

In the championship, the Bianconeri will face five matches this month.
