The first two starts of the season may have been daunting for Matteo Gabbia given Juventus and Chelsea were the opponents, but he has risen to the challenge.
MilanNews writes that Gabbia took to the field against Juventus from minute one on Saturday night with fans perhaps recalling his performance a year ago in which Dusan Vlahovic scored a brace and Fiorentina ran riot at the Artemio Franchi, putting four goals past Milan.

However, there was also the game against Roma in January at San Siro when a Milan decimated by injuries and Coronavirus cases saw Gabbia and Pierre Kalulu start together, with both impressing in a 3-1 win.
The Rossoneri Youth Sector product, helped by the young Frenchman, stopped a difficult opponent in Tammy Abraham that night. On Saturday at the San Siro against Juventus, he kept Vlahovic quiet too, thanks of course to the strong and cohesive unit around him.
This Milan have a certain resilience as can be seen by the fact they did not capitulate despite being a man down and then quickly two goals down against Chelsea. The shutters were brought down while also creating chances at the other end, and with Gabbia entering the season as the fourth choice behind Tomori, Kalulu and Kjaer, it shows the depth and quality Milan have at centre-back.
