Two of AC Milanβs 2021-22 Scudetto winners were reunited on Friday night as Franck Kessie met Theo Hernandez again.
Both Kessie and Theo played a huge part in Milanβs upturn which began six years ago and culminated with lifting the title three years ago. After that league trophy, Kessie headed to Barcelona on a free transfer and then joined Al-Ahli.

Theo meanwhile departed the Rossoneri in the last summer transfer window, choosing to continue his career at Al-Hilal who are coached by Simone Inzaghi. The Frenchman and the Ivorian faced each other last night, and there was room for a reunion.

In addition to that, Theo scored his second goal in three games for Al-Hilal. It has been a positive start for the former Real Madrid man in Saudi Arabia, and Inzaghi has come under fire on social media for bringing him off early.

What can you say, he is a world class player and an amazing goal scorer.

What a sad careers these guys are having.
I miss Theo so much in AC Milan!!! His charisma is clearly missing in every game since he left. Hope arabs can buy Milan, dismantle this disastrous management, bring Theo and Galliani back and build new Silvio Berlusconi stadium.
No, thanks. Arabs are not welcome in Milan.
