GdS: Milan’s attendance trend continues – big crowd expected for Atalanta game | OneFootball

AC Milan are expected to be cheered on by another big crowd during Sunday’s game against Atalanta at San Siro.

Despite it being Easter Sunday, an occasion still very much celebrated in Italy, there will be a big attendance for the visit of La Dea. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews), 73,000 fans are expected at San Siro in the 33rd round.

Season ticket holders aside, over 30,000 tickets have already been sold for the game against Atalanta, of which 18,000 are to foreign fans. In the away section, there should be between 1,800 and 2,000 Nerazzurri supporters.

The same paper recently spoke of the ‘Meazza paradox’ with Inter sitting top of Serie A but struggling to fill the stadium, compared to Milan who are ninth in the table but top for attendances and the only club to average over 70,000 fans per game in Italy.

This is despite having a fanbase that are mostly angry because of a season that has largely fallen short of expectations on the field, as well as a lot of scepticism about the general project.

The chances of getting a Champions League place realistically vanished weeks ago, and the Rossoneri are on course for their worst league finish since the 2014-15 campaign under Pippi Inzaghi.
