AC Milan’s are kicking off their Serie A 2025-26 campaign with the clash against Cremonese at San Siro. In short, at least on paper, they are big favourites to win.

Very poor result for Allegri’s men. So much went wrong tonight and there is clearly a lot to work on…

Four minutes added on.
Loftus-Cheek fires just wide from a good position.
Unnecessary one that, getting it for complaining to the referee.
On: Jashari.
Off: Modric.
On: Chukwueze.
Off: Tomori.
What a goal by Bonazzoli, finding the back of the net with a very acrobatic kick.
The atmosphere has improved in the stadium, despite the Curva Sud remaining silent.
Decent shot by Fofana this time, but Audero with a save yet again.
Close again! Pulisic this time but Audero is equal to the shot.
Modric forces Audero to a very good stop after an attack that he helped create himself.
Fofana with another pretty poor shot from outside the box. He needs to stop with those.
Let’s go boys. Need to start the season with a win.
On: Jimenez.
Off: Estupinan.
Certainly not the best half we have seen, but at least it’s 1-1. Hopefully we will see a lot of improvements in the second half.
1-1! Pavlovic finds the back of the net after great work by Saelemaekers, and then Estupinan who was responsible for the cross.

One minute added on.
Gimenez fires wide! Decent chance on the half-volley but not too far away from making it into the back of the net.
Hard to say who was fully to blame for the goal. Gabbia was following one striker, Pavlovic the other, and the Baschirotto just made his way into the box. Midfielders failed to pick him up before that.
Cremonese take the lead through Baschirotto. Wonderful goal to be fair, but what was happening in Milan’s defence?
Pavlovic makes a big mistake and Maignan is forced to a good save on Bonazzoli.
Gimenez scores but the flag is up for offside, correctly so.
Estupinan tries his luck from long range and it’s actually not too bad, but not on target either.
Almost everything attacking-wise is going through Modric so far. It makes sense given his qualities, but perhaps Milan should try to find other solutions too.
Gimenez’s deflected shot nearly catches Audero off guard, but it’s just a corner for Milan in the end.
I “like” how Estupido is playing.. low table team took ball procession from him, can’t defend, and passing mistakes
Is he the best defender in the world? or playing like a U9 kid hahaha 😀
How he shut you up with that perfect assist cross. Uf uf uf
crosses are nice but so does defending qualities… he’s a LB ffs…
I love watching him playing, such fun to watch, in way of joke.
Just like Muuuu Sahh 😀
woowoahh, Brilliant!! with saelemaekers’s work
I bet he is playing in the 2nd half, is he injured, how he got sub’ed at only half time of the 1st game of new season?
Did he put on a wrong shirt? cuz don’t see no.2 in second half. Hope to see him playing too 🙂
hahahaha
pavlovic horrible performance
Estupinan…lol
How ironic. Estupinan assist, Pavlovic Goal 😎
Without Leao and Theo we lost speed. Only Saelamakers is running and trying to add some action. Pulisic and Modric are the only ones working hard. The rest of the team doesn’t deserve to be in Serie A. We play too compactly with 3-4 players covering one small area. My eyes are bleeding.
Okay. Saelamakers and Pulisic swapped positions, and the Belgian made one successful attack for us. Good job, Alexis. Keep going.
All players apart from Pulisic should be ashamed that Modric is covering more field. It’s crazy that Modric at 39 looks the most athletic in the team.
You can’t buy experience and class. Modric is a brilliant player with an extremely high football IQ. You can feel it when he carries the ball and lands his sharp passes. That assist to Himenes was sick af. I can’t wait to see him convert Leao’s speed into goals.
Thank God self I no dey watch this match can’t start with this again this season
Great job owners with Curva and horible team. But hey you have profit 👺🤬🤬
Fofana is again awful and losing balls left and right.
Don’t think it will take much time before Jashari and Rocco take over positions from RLC and Fofana
Ricci…
Can the backline head the ball to a teammate? Pavlovic, stop thinking you can drive the ball between players in the final third. Let’s not talk about his defensive play. Good to see the Fofana was the designated scorer. Estupinan… I am speechless. A left footed Royal.
Estupinan = Emerson Royal
Replaca RLC with Jashari, bartesaghi for estupinan, de winter for pavlovic
New season same problems. Slow play and our defenders terrible. Jimenez needs to play, take out Pavlovic and move Tomori as a CB!
You all are critics… just shut and enjoy the match…
I don’t care how they play in forest league opening .
3 point is all i need boost confident ahead of next game before the break.
And I don’t know why people crying so much, it’s already better then under the Portugese trainers.
Did you enjoy, genius?
Fofana is a bum
Jezus what a bunch of whiners. ACM are doing fine as a team, the prospect from the first 45 are good.
I am really impressed with Gimenez, and so should you be
Completely fine, genius
this ref is a piece of work
Aa Fofana is back
I was wrong about Modric i thought he was finished but damn i hope he can stay fit at least for 2 years.
Great goallllllllll
I like good team!!! hahaahah yea 🙂
and good goal too
Unlucky
Wow we are so bad 😭
Fun to see Allergi having the same problem he had 15 years ago. It takes way too much time and too many mistakes for him to get in substitutes.
True that. He’s always slow to react, which leads to yet another predictable ending.
Yea new season it’s doing fine, actually Really Good like some folks suggested.
For both teams 🙂 wahahah
Nothing change about this team
I wish.
We keep getting worse.
Two goals from Cremonese—regardless of how this ends, it’s a disgraceful display.
Giménez just can’t dominate in front of the goal. Unfortunately he’s not that guy.
Only balls Fofana cant lose are in his pants. Gimenez cannot be our main striker. Unlucky to be behind 1-2 but that scissor kick was beautiful
Allegri has done nothing right this whole match. What have loftus and fofana done tonight to still be on? What’s has Ricci done to not be in this field starting? Modric was the best player and he subbed him off. How we desperately need a striker and we’re about to let Boniface slip out of our grasp.
This, why are RLC and Fofana still on the field
Shocking to see those two starting ahead of Ricci.
Lotus Cheek should not be playing for this team
Wow we are so bad. Im sorry but why is fofana even starting this guy took abt 10 shots and skyed all of them but 1 and has been poor defensively.Estupinan needs time so i say play jiminez there and as for Santiago , he has been horror…Desperately need Boniface or would rather see RLC as a striker. And modric was carrying us so hard, jus shows the difference in quality with a 39 yr old and fofana and RLC.
They said.. Cremonese has never beaten Milan at San Siro. Woahh, good to know..
Could this ‘Has’ from the statement change to ‘Had’ ;D haha
Allegri is back everyone
Historic Day For the good team!!!
Congratz Cremonese, first ever win,
for the 1st game to start a season in the league.
Senza tifosi, senza Leao, senza un buon attaccante, questo succede.
Il Milan è stato chiaramente migliore, ma non è stato fortunato. Squadre come la Cremonese hanno tirato solo 2-4 volte a partita, ma hanno segnato 2 gol. Non importa, la prossima settimana speriamo di avere Leao e un buon attaccante.
If we can’t beat cremonese at home…. Another long season ahead.
Defender disaster, Fofana how many shot he needs to at least on Target, toothless attack, Gimenez can go. Only Pulisic and Saele are worthy, and they want to sell Saele to Juve???
gimenez second striker ok ,but not first
would have preferred to see all the new players today
Cool Milan team!! What a performance from duo tank..a junk tank..
Allegri need to whine abt striker.
And im too quick with comment!!
I was wrong. I was think will be 0:0 or 1:1 but those players is worst then i think.
Next game against Lecce will be better,im sure we will draw.
You buy 3 mf for their defensive awareness and u only field one 39 yrs old hoping he can solve all our problem and field the 2 mf who responsible for last season horror and espect them to become the best amf that we sold cheaply. U can not train 2 big mfs in 1 mo to become reijnder. Come on allegri.
How many games does Allegri get…
I have sad this many times. All our managment kept their job after the desaster last season. This is unaceptable! Im sick of seeing certain faces at San Siro.
Aside Leao that was absent, this is the Milan team for 2025/2026 season. Hmm!
Poor performance, poor Allegri (Archaic coaching), poor substitutions. You need goal and the only player creating scoring chances is Sala and remove Tomori and withdraw Sala back to do more of defending than attacking. He supposed to keep the back three and instruct Sala and Jimenez to push upfront.
When I heard him saying he want 15 goals from RLC and Fofana this season I knew we are going to suffer this season unless something changed. RLC and Fofana are waste of space. No real cover for the defence, just running like robots on the field.
Sala suppose to have two assists today if Fontana happens to be a good player.
All big teams that played today won except Milan. Three points lost to promoted team.
Aside Leao that was absence, this are the team for 2025/2026 season. Hmmm
we play like headless chicken, we need big revolution, we still play like we have no brain at all, every season will be like this if we still count on leao performance
No flair in their play …I am sorry for myself to be supporting this uninteresting milan
