Other notable results included Bayer Leverkusen’s 4-0 win over Lech Poznań, Benfica’s 4-1 victory against Celtic, and Lyon’s 3-2 win over Crystal Palace. A total of ten teams, including Besiktas, Omonia, and Olympiakos, now hold six points. AC Milan delivered a significant 4-0 away win against Salzburg, highlighted by a historic hat-trick from 19-year-old Alphadjo Sise (also referred to as Cisse). Sise became the youngest Italian player to achieve such a feat in a major European club competition, scoring via his head, left foot, and right foot within 49 minutes. Having joined Milan from Hellas Verona, Sise has scored five goals in his first seven matches for the club. Following this performance, Milan management is working to secure Sise’s future with a potential contract extension to 2031 featuring improved financial terms. Looking ahead, Milan is preparing to host Atalanta at San Siro on October 18, 2026, as they seek to maintain their unbeaten Serie A record under manager Ruben Amorim. While Milan enters the match with momentum, Atalanta manager Maurizio Sarri expressed confidence in his team despite facing significant injury concerns and squad absences.
