AC Milan secured a 2-1 away victory against Torino in their opening match of the 2026/27 Serie A season at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. Following a scoreless first half, 19-year-old Alphadjo Cissé scored in the 64th minute, followed by a goal from Adrien Rabiot two minutes later. Che Adams scored for Torino during stoppage time, but Milan held on for the win.

Manager Ruben Amorim secured his first Serie A victory with the club, though he expressed concerns regarding physical conditioning due to an “unideal pre-season.” Following Cissé’s standout performance, Amorim has reportedly decided to retain the teenager at the club, effectively ending previous discussions regarding potential loans to other Serie A sides such as Torino or Sassuolo.

While the debut was successful, analysts and former players have noted areas for improvement, specifically regarding Milan’s defensive stability and finishing. Amorim has expressed his intention to continue building an aggressive, possession-based style of play.

Spanish defender Mario Gila made a significant impact in his debut, introducing increased pace and athleticism to the defensive line. However, the team experienced a physical decline around the 75th minute; Gila was forced to leave the pitch due to cramps, which led to visible struggles on Milan’s right flank.

Off the pitch, AC Milan has entered a strategic global partnership with international financial broker FPG Fortune Prime Global. Under this agreement, FPG becomes a Premium Partner and the Official Online Trading Partner of the club, marking the broker's first collaboration within the sports industry.
