Davide Calabria fired a warning to Milan as he declared Wednesday s clash with Porto to be their last chance of staying in the Champions League.
The Rossoneri are bottom of Group B, having lost all three of their matches against Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and Porto, and are on a five-game losing streak overall in the competition – the worst such run in their history.
Should they lose to Sergio Conceicao s side at San Siro and Atletico beat Liverpool at Anfield, Milan will be unable to finish higher than fourth in the group, meaning their European campaign would be over for 2021-22.
While their domestic form has been strong – they have won 10 of 11 Serie A matches this season, something only three teams have achieved before – Milan were deeply unconvinc…

Vicente del Bosque was delighted to see Spain score three times in their 3-0 win over Turkey as they booked their ticket for the knockout stages at Euro 2016.
The titleholders have been struggling in front of goal in recent months and needed a late Gerard Pique header to see off Czech Republic 1-0 on matchday one.
Their finishing was up to scratch against Turkey though, as an Alvaro Morata double and a Nolito strike helped them to victory.
We have completed our first objective, qualifying for the next round and did so with a good performance. We were in charge for the entire game and scored goals, which we have been struggling to do, coach Del Bosque said after the game in Nice.
We now have to focus on the game against Croatia and see if we can make it …
