AC Milan won easily against Liverpool on Saturday afternoon. As you would expect, then, the player ratings reflect this.
Things must be taken with a pinch of salt, of course. However, Milan were fantastic against Liverpool yesterday. A clear style of play has been implemented, and players are seemingly sure of their roles and how to conduct them.

In other words, a stark difference compared to the end of last season. So, for this reason, Gazzetta dello Sport gave the Rossoneri 8/10 for the performance yesterday, a very high score indeed, especially for a friendly, as can be seen below.
Massimiliano Allegri, too, was given an eight, with his style being shown on the pitch very clearly. Defend well and attack quickly.
Player ratings
Pervis Estupinan was given the lowest score of the game, with a 5.5. However, his minutes were limited, so we cannot be too critical here, as well as considering he has only just joined the club and the group.
Mike Maignan was given a 6, very average and with nothing to shout about, there is no reason to give him anything higher or lower. Davide Bartesaghi and Strahinja Pavlovic were both given 6.5s, whilst substitute Pietro Terracciano was also given the same score.
Fikayo Tomori, Malick Thiaw, Youssouf Fofana and Christian Pulisic were all given scores of 7, above average, and their performances were solid. Alexis Saelemaekers, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Samuele Ricci were all given a score a notch higher, with 7.5s, all very deserved, with each having a big impact.
Scorer of a brace, Noah Okafor, was given an 8, with the Swiss putting in a good performance after coming off the bench. Impressive indeed.
As was given in our eyes, Rafael Leao was the MOTM for Gazzetta, who scored the Portuguese 8.5/10. For the first two goals, the winger was instrumental, scoring and assisting, and he has already begun to show what Allegri’s work could look like. Hopefully, we will only see more of that player now.
We need Chiesa to help Leao, sell that overhyped predictable bum american dude pulisic. Get us a couple of top young defenders and sell Tomori and the Serbian poor defender. Right back like Singo then Milan would be on the right path
Definition of a troll
Get back to ur baseball, bum lol
So…get rid or our top scorer, who also is our only forward to put in defensive duties as well and get more defenders.
Crack kills my dude. Lay off the pipe.
U confuse everybody with ur mama !? No wonder everybody around the world call u ignorants u Mickey Mouse society lol Go back to ur hockey u american bum!
at least he has one.
Not sure why you think everyone here is from America…
No room for Pulisic hate, mate. Grow up.
Pointing the obvious isn’t hate! I’ve never met the guy. The thing which u can’t see given the fact is that all of u Americans here are just ignorant about this sport. u have never played it in any level let alone pro level, the only reason u are following Milan is because an average mid players who plays there who happened to be from ur little country! Put him in the market and watch the kind of teams will come for him. u guys talk about numbers like if he was scoring 4p goals a year! The dude scores mainly by being in the right place at the right time. Do u know how many players do that ? No. But since u have never played at any level u wouldn’t know what a good player looks like. Running around, passing the ball backwards, can’t dribble, can’t shoot, and making the wrong call in almost every attacking situation in every big match just to try to score himself while having a poor touch and being so predictable doesn’t make u anything but an average player. But none of u american baseball bums would know that.
Well, I’m Italian, from Milano, a lifelong Milan fan for several decades, I know nothing about baseball, so I’m entirely out of your stereotypes, and I know that Pulisic is obviously an excellent player with high football IQ and great work ethic. His high number of goals and assists has helped Milan in numerous occasions and ranks at the very top as compared to other Milan players. Your use of “u” for “you” betrays your young age. You’re just a kid who finds that it is funny to troll the American Milan fans. It’s not funny and you just look like the idiot that you surely are. Like others said, grow up and let down your FIFA videogame.
u a fan lol ? Good for u, bum!
Some others had the talent to actually get paid to play pro football in your country. While u were sitting in ur mama’s basement, others were doing the walk u couldn’t do, cuz let’s face it! u never had that talent! u can’t talk about talent nor IQ if u never had any u little bum. Maybe it’s time to get back to mama’s basement since u bums are the reason Milan is in this shape! Get that dude D out ur mouth and u will see how u FANS are singing songs about a mid average player! U know what they say weasels crawl with their own kinds lol gtfoh, u bum!
My “mum” has been dead for decades, kid. So, no, I don’t live in her basement. Again, you are predictable and not funny. Your trolling is simply not working.
Oh and also: vaffanculo.
you are acting like you play pro football. 🤣😂🤣😂
It is clear you no know anything.
If you are getting Chiesa keep Pulisic at all costs
I am so disappointed in you De or what’s that ur fucking name again well it is either u are an Inter milan fan or you just want to make un necessary joke about ur fucking self if not you won’t advice us to sell pulisic
Go back to ur baseball u american bums
Shut up bro…easy to be a big boy behind your keyboard. You know nothing about football then if you think Puli is not any good.
U wouldn’t know what a big boy is u bum! Get that dude d out of ur mouth. u just a troll! We both know in real life u wouldn’t walk a couple of steps without somebody holding ur hands, u weak bum! Gtfoh lil chick
Well said Luigi. If you are a Milan supporter and hate Pulisic and American fans he brings to your team do you really support Milan? How do the teams like Bayern PSG Madrid Man City Liverpool always stay at or near the top? Magic? Witchcraft? Or is it with Money? More American fans more money. For Milan and for Italian Futbol. Many subscribe to paramount to be able to watch the matches. We buy merchandise. May hate the owners bcs American and not investing more into the team but the player sacrifices works hard each match and regularly delivers. Say it’s only to because he’s in the right place at right time. As Luigi commented that takes iq and I’ll say effort.
So many folks make these comments for engagement and who knows if it’s truly how you feel. If it is honest then I’d seriously reflect and ask yourself if you are actually a supporter of AC Milan.
Sounds like a boring book! Better get back to ur baseball u wonna be. Since when Milan had such bums as their fans! singing songs about a mid player! GTFOH! A dude who can’t dribble can’t shoot low IQ poor touch make every wrong decision in the biggest matches and u have his d in ur mouth! Keep singing u bum
“bum”, i love it when De just described himself
It seems that there are those who don’t want milan to progress, why should we sell pulicic, he was one off our best last session,he can give more this season,if you hate milan you are not hers or his supporter,support the team you like. Live us milan supporter in peace,because we are thinking about how we want the team to be more solid,positiveness is all we want for Milan…MILAN FOR EVER..
Forza milan
