AI match recap

This is a high-level opening European test between a Milan side still settling under Amorim and a Benfica team arriving with sharper recent momentum. Milan's comeback at Lazio showed character, but their first-half vulnerability also exposed the cost of losing control in midfield. Benfica's front four have been productive and will target the space beyond Milan's wing-backs. The home side's case rests on possession, San Siro pressure and exploiting Benfica's uncertainty at right-back.

Injuries and absences

Bah's absence deprives Benfica of their established right-back and may force a makeshift solution or alter their balance in possession. The uncertainty around Aursnes makes that flank the clearest area Milan can attempt to overload.
