   Allow “/blog” in multsite network :

   function mod_subdirectory_reserved_names() {
       $names = array(
           'page', 'comments', 'files', 'feed', 'wp-admin',
           'wp-content', 'wp-includes', 'wp-json', 'embed'
       );
   }
   add_filter( "subdirectory_reserved_names", "mod_subdirectory_reserved_names");

   Here is better solution to modify this list of reserved names. Solution by daniyalahmedk not working for 2 reasons:

   1. The function not returning anything. There is no return state in the function and WordPress get null as result of this function (not array with words).
   2. Function not accepting args. This means all other plugins/code changes will be replaced.

   /**
    * Modify reserved names for sites.
    *
    * @param $names array List of reserved names for sites.
    *
    * @return array Updated list of reserved names for sites.
    */
   function change_subdirectory_reserved_names( $names ) {
   	$position = array_search( 'blog', $names );
   
   	if( $position ) {
   		unset( $names[$position] );
   	}
   
   	return $names;
   }
   add_filter( 'subdirectory_reserved_names', 'change_subdirectory_reserved_names' );
