2021-22 Serie A AC Milan fixtures

AC Milan has just completed his first Serie A match, as well as the first match in the 2021-22 season by a 1-0 win against Sampdoria. Spanish midfielder Brahim Diaz was the hero of the match, who scored the only winning goal for Rossoneri to surpass their opponent. He is currently playing as a loaned player in AC Milan, from the top-notch club in Spain, Real Madrid. He also used to play for Man City between 2016 and 2019. 

The first half of the match was played for two additional minutes, which turned out to be the golden time for AC Milan to be the winner of this game. Brahim Diaz scored in the last extra minute of the first half, successfully bringing a winning goal for Rossoneri, after several chances to score. So it seems that playing in the opponent’s home ground was not a hassle for this club.
