Gallery: ‘The Devil’s hunger, ‘Chance to break away’ – Today’s front pages in Italy

AC Milan are the first game of the weekend in Serie A, and they have an opportunity to put some pressure on at the top as they welcome Pisa.

Milan’s win against Fiorentina on Sunday took them back to the top of the table after Napoli and Roma both lost. There is the chance to go four points clear tonight against the side in bottom place, albeit temporarily.

However, there will be no room for getting carried away. In his pre-match press conference, Massimiliano Allegri once again claimed that the target for the season is simply a top four spot.

Below is how the newspapers in Italy look on the day of what could be a big sliding doors moment in Milan’s campaign.

La Gazzetta dello Sport: “The Devil’s hunger. Milan have a chance to go four points ahead at San Siro. Today at 8:45pm against Pisa. The stadium is packed: the Rossoneri are also first in terms of fans. Serginho: ‘Leao and Modric are the best’.”

Corriere dello Sport: “Milan, Pisa are here: Gimenez together with Leao. Suzuki exclusive: ‘Only the World Cup matters’. He turned down the Premier League for Belgium, then chose Parma, now Milan and Chelsea are after him.”

Tuttosport: “Milan and Modric for the first escape. Tonight, Gilardino’s Pisa at San Siro. A win would put Allegri’s team 4pts ahead of the second-placed sides. But Retegui slapped the Rossoneri in the face: ‘Al-Qadsiah are a more serious club’.”

QS: “Milan charged: a chance to break away. Pisa at San Siro (8:45pm): Allegri could go four points ahead for one night.”
