Algerian midfielder Ismael Bennacer made his 150th appearance for AC Milan on Matchday 18 of the 2023/24 Serie A season, meaning he joins a club of players that is now 103-strong.
Bennacer has overcome some serious adversity to reach that milestone for AC Milan given he has missed almost the entirety of this season after suffering a serious injury in the Champions League semi-final in 2022/23.
He made his return to the team by starting the match against Salernitana which ended 2-2, and he then started the game against Sassuolo which ended in a 1-0 victory. That was his 150th appearance for the club and he was regarded as one of Milan’s best performers.
Unfortunately for the Rossoneri, his comeback to the team will be curtailed because he is now leaving to represent Algeria at the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
Bennacer’s debut came back on August 25, 2019 against Udinese. He came off of the bench having arrived from Empoli but could not prevent Milan from losing the game 1-0.
With such a rich history of individual talent, there are some very exciting names that have managed to rack up at least 150 appearances for the Diavolo, and Bennacer has joined them.
