Ismael Bennacer took the lead in AC Milan’s post-game huddle last night, prevailing 2-1 against Juventus, and stated that they need to do everything to win the final against Inter on Monday.
It was a very important win for Sergio Conceicao in his first game as the Milan head coach, especially for the way it came about. The Rossoneri struggled big time in the first half but changed the situation in the second, fighting harder and eventually getting paid for it (with a bit of luck).
After the referee blew the final whistle, the players gathered on the pitch in a huddle and Bennacer held a motivational speech for his teammates:
“Lads, we have to recover well in the coming days because we have a final to play, deservedly so. We changed the game in the second half, look at yourselves! Three days. Recover, train well, it doesn’t matter how you play in a final, what matters is that you win,” he stated.

As highlighted by various outlets this morning, the post-match huddle was a great sign of a team that has the foundation to turn the season around. And with a win against the city rivals, the confidence would be further boosted.
Benny proving haters and Alzheimer victims wrong… keep up the good work and hope that the injuries are behind you!
Nobody ever questioned Benny for his mentality. It’d his fitness that is a big problem. Frequent long injuries have completely hammered hus development and limited his ability too. He was awful yesterday…
Exactly right. Love Bennacer but he’s never, ever healthy for a whole season.
I’m one of the biggest fans of Bennacer in this website and enjoyed watching him from 2020 to 2022, but let’s be honest, he’s more likely to get injured again than not.
Neymar and Hazard are ATG tier yet looked how they started getting consistenly injured and how they were ravaged.
A big congratulations to Bennacer & the team. I am not personally a fan of his ( nicely skilled but SLOW & INJURY PRONE ). Good luck to him !! however,I don t think he is one of the pieces moving forward ……
If he can only stay fit, he’ll be an integral part of our midfield🤞
He is useless he can go for free we don’t need bla bla bla we need quality with hard working
