AC Milan put in perhaps their most convincing display of Ruben Amorim’s tenure so far, beating Lecce 3-0 at San Siro.
The opening goal was a stroke of brilliance from Christian Pulisic, who brought down a ball over the top from Strahinja Pavlovic with a deft touch and then finished. Adrien Rabiot and Diego Moreira both added to their tallies in the second half to make it a relatively stress-free evening.

AC Milan 3-0 Lecce: Ratings from the papers
This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport has their ratings from the game, starting with the overall performance and Amorim’s management of the game, both of which earned a 7 out of 10.
The man of the match was Pulisic who got a 7.5, while the ‘flop’ was Ruben Loftus-Cheek, despite the fact that he got a passing grade of 6 and the joint-lowest score.
Pavlovic, Rabiot and Diego Moreira were each awarded a 7, while 6.5s went to Mike Maignan, Mario Gila, Koni De Winter, Samuel Chukwueze, Luka Modric, Alexis Saelemaekers and Goncalo Ramos. Only Pervis Estupinan and Yunus Musah got a 6.

Corriere dello Sport (via SpazioMilan) also gave Pulisic a 7.5 score, and dished out 7s to Pavlovic, Modric, Rabiot and Moreira. Gila, De Winter, Chukwueze and Saelemaekers got half a point less. The rest got passing scores aside from Ramos and Loftus-Cheek, who were given 6.5s.
Finally, Tuttosport agree with Pulisic getting a 7.5, while they gave the same score to Rabiot. Pavlovic, Chukwueze, Saelemaekers and Moreira scored 7, then Gila, Modric and Ramos a 6.5. Only Loftus-Cheek (5.5) got less than a 6.
Anyone marking Ramos as the joint lowest score in that game is basically a “I know nothing about football in 2026” badge.
I the a 6.5 is fair. Overall good game but I’d like to see him start finding the end of some of these crosses (I’d also like to see Milan get him more service)
Ramos is a goog player but the attacher mifeilder are not good (cisse -loftus) with Pulisic -Salaemakers is good for Ramos.
What we need to discuss is Pavlovic and our CB’s. If the coach can refine his technique and playmaking abilities. This will give our team another dimension. Gila is already on an elite level who will get better with fitness. If we get another ball playing central CB in place of Koni, our attackers will have a field day!
