AC Milan got their first win of their 2024-25 Champions League campaign against Club Brugge, but it is a performance that was far from all positive.
This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) has their ratings from the game, starting with the team’s overall score which was given a 6.5 out of 10, and Paulo Fonseca who was awarded a grade of 7.
The best player on the field was Tijjani Reijnders whose match-winning brace earned him an 8, while the player who struggled the most in the eyes of the paper was Emerson Royal, who got a 5.
Christian Pulisic scored the opening goal of the night directly from a corner and he was the next-best after Reijnders with a 7.5. Mike Maignan got a 7 for making saves to keep the scores as they were, while the substitutes Noah Okafor and Samuel Chukwueze each registered assists and were given the same score.
Francesco Camarda was praised for his impact off the bench and being so close to a record-breaking goal (6.5), while Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori, Youssouf Fofana, Yunus Musah and Rafael Leao all got a passing grade of 6.
The players who struggled were Theo Hernandez, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Alvaro Morata, with each of the trio being handed a rating of 5.5 for failing to affect the game much.
