Overview
- Milan, which drew 2-2 with Celtic at Parkhead on Saturday, trailed 2-0 at half-time after errors by Strahinja Pavlovic and Samuele Ricci before Francesco Camarda scored twice to level the match.
- Rúben Amorim set Milan up with a three-man backline and an intense high-press but said players are still learning the system and that the team’s pressing demands were not yet fully understood.
- Camarda’s two goals underlined his rising role and Milan exercised a buy-back to sign the 18-year-old on a contract through 2031 with Amorim confirming the forward will stay in the first-team squad this season.
- Summer signing Mario Gila left the game with a muscular complaint that Amorim described as a small problem and said the club will evaluate in the coming days while monitoring overall squad fitness.
- The match offers early clues about the overhaul required after ownership and coaching changes, with Milan expected to prioritise pressing consistency, physical conditioning and recruitment of wide/wing-back options ahead of the season.
