This season has seen a mixture of highs and lows for Milan, yet one constant prevails—the unwavering support from the club’s fans, who continue to fill San Siro to record levels. Although the Rossoneri struggle to secure a Champions League position on the pitch, they dominate Serie A in attendance.
With Christian Pulisic, Joao Felix, Rafael Leao, and Santiago Gimenez working to reignite Milan’s campaign, the club has officially surpassed one million total spectators at San Siro for the 2024-25 season, a remarkable achievement that cements their status as the only Italian team to reach this milestone.
Entering the season, the Rossoneri’s goal was clear—to fight for the Scudetto. However, the reality has been less forgiving. At one point, they found themselves 11 points behind their top-four rivals. While a recent improvement has narrowed the gap to six points, the race for a UEFA Champions League spot remains challenging.
Sergio Conceicao’s squad currently sits in ninth place, trailing Bologna, Juventus, Lazio, Fiorentina, and Roma in the competition for a top-four finish. Their early exit from the Champions League against Feyenoord only intensified the frustration of their supporters. Yet, the Rossoneri faithful continue to turn out in impressive numbers, reaffirming that Milan’s support runs deep, beyond the team’s performances on the field.
San Siro: The Heartbeat of Milan
Despite inconsistent results, Milan’s home stadium remains a hub of activity. According to Calciomercato, the Rossoneri lead Serie A in average attendance, boasting an impressive 71,591 fans per game. This places them ahead of city rivals, Inter (69,794), and Roma (61,973).
Additionally, the Red and Blacks are the only team in the league to exceed one million total spectators for the season, achieving 1,073,864 across 15 home games, according to Transfermarkt. This incredible milestone highlights the dedication and passion of the Milanisti, even in a season that has not met expectations. The club’s massive home crowds have outstripped Inter, despite both teams sharing San Siro, Italy’s largest stadium.
Ultras’ Mixed Signals: Protest and Passion
The Curva Sud, Milan’s most ardent ultras supporter group, has not hesitated to voice their concerns about the team’s challenges. During the Serie A match against Como, they expressed their frustration through banners and chants, signaling their discontent with the team’s performances.
Nevertheless, despite their protests, they continue to fill the stadium, demonstrating that their frustration does not equal abandonment. Instead, it reflects a demand for higher standards and a return to Milan’s storied legacy.
