AC Milan’s Debacle in European Return Highlights Issues Under New Coach Ruben Amorim – WTOP News
Gonçalo Ramos and Benfica exposed Milan’s attack, while Ruben Amorim’s side has lost four of its last five home matches.
- On Wednesday, AC Milan lost 2-0 to Benfica in their Europa League opener, marking the seven-time European champion's first defeat to the Portuguese club since their 1963 European Cup final meeting. Fans whistled the team off the field.
- Coach Ruben Amorim was hired to replace Massimiliano Allegri after Milan missed Champions League qualification by one point, but his attacking style contrasts sharply with Allegri's defensive tactics and many players struggle to adapt to his approach.
- Striker Gonçalo Ramos, signed for more than 70 million euros from Paris Saint-Germain, has gone three straight matches without a shot on goal. Milan has lost four of its last home games conceding at least two goals in each defeat.
- The 41-year-old Luka Modric remained benched against Benfica as Amorim rotates the squad, preferring United States midfielder Yunus Musah's physicality to the veteran's passing and field vision abilities.
- Emerging talents like 19-year-old Alphadjo Cisse and winger Diego Moreira, signed for 50 million euros from Strasbourg, provide optimism, though Antonio Conte's presence in the stands raised questions about Amorim's future as Zlatan Ibrahimovic reappeared at training this week.
