Serie A debut spark: Adrien Rabiot drives Milan to early win

AC Milan secured a perfect start to their Serie A campaign with a 2-1 victory over Torino, thanks to a decisive impact from the French midfielder Adrien Rabiot. The win gives the Rossoneri three points and momentum heading into the season.

Rabiot changes the game

Rabiot was not in the starting eleven for Milan’s opening Serie A match against Torino, entering the field in the 55th minute. The Français immediately altered the contest, helping the Rossoneri pull ahead.

Six minutes after his introduction, at the 64th minute, Rabiot delivered a decisive pass to Alphadjo Cissè, the 19‑year‑old who scored his first goal for the Lombard club. The assist was recorded among the Buts as Ciss’s 0‑1 opener.

Just two minutes later, Rabiot turned scorer, netting in the 67th minute after receiving a cross from Samuel Chukwueze at the second post. The goal secured a 0‑2 lead for the Rossoneri and was listed in the Buts.

Torino reduced the deficit in stoppage time when Che Adams struck for the Toro in the 90+3 minute, a remarkable rebound after a free‑kick, as noted in the match report. Despite the late goal, the final score remained 1‑2 in Milan’s favour.

Rúben Amorim praised the performance, stating that Adrien Rabiot “c’est sur le terrain et pas sur le banc.” The manager’s confidence highlighted the Frenchman’s influence after coming off the bench.

Serie A weekend sees top clubs win

While Les Rossoneri also recorded a victory, the other Serie A heavyweights held their ground; Atalanta defeated Sassuolo 2‑1, and Inter, Juventus, Napoli, Milan and Atalanta all recorded wins. The pressure now shifts to Roma, who face a Fiorentina side that has been active in the market.

Milan’s win gives the club a three‑point start to their Serie A campaign and sets a positive tone for the season ahead.
