Last night, AC Milan beat Lecce to earn their first home win of 2026, but there are some far more important numbers available.
Since Massimiliano Allegri arrived, there has been a lot of focus on numbers. The number of players in his squad, or the games per week, or even the almost obsessive focus on the amount of points required for the Champions League this season.
These, arguably, have not been the numbers to define the season, though.
The key numbers
Instead, as Calciomercato.com writes, Milan are currently being defined by their unbeaten streak, which has been slightly frustrating at times. Regardless of that, though, it remains an incredibly impressive statistic.
The Rossoneri have 15 points more than they did at this point last season, which is not down to luck. But rather it is proof of Allegri’s impact and the dramatic improvement of the squad in the space of only a few months.

As the report states, it is a ‘clear, positive, proactive growth’, showing that the aim to compete at the top again is certainly feasible.
These claims are also supported by the team statistics, where the Diavolo ranks second for the best attack and the best defence. Only Inter have scored more goals than them, and Roma are the only side to have conceded fewer.
Concrete evidence to support the claims that Milan are back amongst the top sides in Italy.
