AC Milan's Debacle in European Return Highlights Issues Under New Coach Ruben Amorim
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.
- Coach Ruben Amorim was hired to replace Massimiliano Allegri after Milan missed Champions League qualification by one point, but his attacking style sharply contrasts with Allegri's defensive tactics and many players struggle to adapt.
- Record signing Gonçalo Ramos, acquired for more than 70 million euros from Paris Saint-Germain, has scored only once for Milan against last-place Venezia and gone three straight matches without a shot on goal.
- 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.
- 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 attendance at the match raised questions about Amorim's future.
