22 October 2020 AC Milan debut in the group stage with a comforting 3-1 at Celtic.
The Rossoneri continue their streak of useful results and share Group H lead with Lille, who won 4-1 at Sparta Prague.
On the ground of Celtic Park Dalot, Tonali and Krunic make his debut from the first minute: these are the choices of Pioli, who presents Ibrahimovic as the conductor of the attack.
Among Lennon's green-and-whites is the former Laxalt.
The hosts start with the usual determination and frighten the back of Milan due to some too much lightness of the Rossoneri players.
But a flash is enough to unlock the race and cool the spirit of the Scots: at 14 'Castillejo crosses from the right, Krunic enters with the right time and touches her with his head just enough to overtake Barkas.
Ibra and his teammates can afford not to force the pace.
This does not prevent him from finding the double before the break: Ibrahimovic triggers the run of Hernandez, who waits and serves Brahim Diaz centrally, narrow dribble and ball in the low corner.
It's 42 '.
At the start of the second half it was Laxalt who urged the Rossoneri defense, his shot from the edge went high.
Same fate for Christie's conclusion.
Celtic, however, insists and Milan are wrong to leave the command of the game to the Scots.
And so, in the 76th minute, on a corner Elyounoussi jumps over Tonali and bags.
The finale ignites and Pioli runs for cover with the entrances of Saelemaekers and Hauge (for Castillejo and Diaz).
A perfect move because in the 92nd minute the Belgian inspires with a verticalization and the Norwegian snaps and signs the trio with his first goal with the Milan shirt.
