There was a memorable moment for Matteo Gabbia as he got his first senior goal with a header to make it 1-0 before the break, then Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud netted to make it 3-0 before an own-goal completed the scoring.
The Italian newspapers have been highly complimentary of what was a very professional performance, and below are the front pages…
Gazzetta dello Sport: “Milan boom. Rossoneri like the good old days. Fantastic 4-0 in Zagreb. Tonali and Leao leaders, a draw is enough against Salzburg on November 2 to reach knockouts.”
Corriere dello Sport: “Milan symphony, 4-0 in Zagreb: now a point will be enough. Diavolo take flight.”
Tuttosport: “Milan and Leao show, it’s almost done! Goalfest in Zagreb opened by Gabbia and completed by a Giroud penalty and own goal.”
