The Milan giant failed to win a single trophy last season—and Simone Inzaghi’s tenure ended with a 0-5 defeat to PSG in the Champions League. His successor, Chivu, was eliminated from the Club World Cup in the summer and immediately lost in the Super Cup during the winter.
However, things are going quite well in the key tournaments so far. There were numerous victories at the start of the Champions League campaign, though they lost later on, including to Arsenal on Tuesday. On the other hand, they finished the first half of Serie A as leaders. And in January, only Napoli managed to draw with them, 2-2.
The visitors have finally managed to break into Serie A. More precisely, it was Filippo Inzaghi who achieved this, but he moved to Palermo in the summer. Without him, the team has struggled. Pisa has spent most of the time near the bottom of the table, with their only win coming against Cremonese. Although draws have become more frequent recently, including against Udinese and Atalanta.
The tournament leader scores an average of 2.1 goals per match, conceding 0.81 in return. The newcomer, meanwhile, averages 0.76 goals scored and 1.48 conceded per game.
