Benfica spark collapse in Milan, Italian press slam Amorim's side: awful | OneFootball

Benfica got off to a flying start in the Europa League league phase by beating Milan 2-0 at San Siro, in what was the rossoneri’s first-ever defeat against the Eagles. The result in Milan sparked a strong reaction from the Italian press, which took a very negative view of the performance of the team coached by Ruben Amorim.

. The Italian newspaper also directly targeted the Portuguese coach, arguing that Ruben Amorim "got his starting eleven wrong again," in a highly critical assessment of the choices made for the European match.

The criticism from the Italian press, however, was not limited to the selection of players. Gazzetta also issued a warning about the team’s future. "Without a change or improvements in their game or approach, Milan are doomed to yet another season of standing still." Gonçalo Ramos, the rossoneri’s Portuguese striker, was also singled out by the Italian daily, which summed up his display bluntly: "he was nowhere to be seen".

Tuttosport also took a very negative tone in its analysis of the match and described Milan’s performance as a "collapse", considering Ruben Amorim’s European debut this season a "bitter" experience.

Corriere dello Sport, meanwhile, highlighted the way Benfica managed to impose themselves at one of the most iconic stadiums in European football. The newspaper said that the Eagles "conquered San Siro" and also reported the whistles from the rossoneri fans directed at their own team.
