**Headline: AC Milan Look to End Disappointing Season on High Note Against Relegated Monza**

**Milan, Italy -** AC Milan will host Monza at the San Siro this Saturday, May 24th, at 20:45 CEST in their final Serie A match of the season. Both teams enter the contest with contrasting motivations. Milan, currently sitting in a disappointing ninth place, will try to end a lackluster campaign with a victory in front of their home fans. Monza, on the other hand, are firmly entrenched in last place and already relegated, looking to salvage some pride and potentially pull off a shock victory in their final match.

Milan are coming off a 3-1 defeat to Roma, which extinguished their hopes for European qualification. The Rossoneri will be without manager Sérgio Conceição and Gimenez due to suspension, while Chukwueze and Walker are unavailable. However, the return of Hernández and Bondo should offer a boost to the squad.

Monza, managed by Nesta, has struggled mightily this season. Despite a recent 2-1 win against Udinese, they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Empoli last weekend. Nesta acknowledged the difficulties the club has faced, stating, “Something hasn’t gone well. We are already thinking of how to improve.”
