Italian press savage Amorim after Benfica beat Milan 2-0 | OneFootball

Benfica opened the Europa League league phase with a 2-0 win at San Siro, Milan’s first ever defeat against Benfica.

The result prompted stinging verdicts in Italy, with criticism centring on Amorim’s team and their approach.

Gazzetta dello Sport was especially severe, saying Milan lacked conviction, delivered a dreadful display, and arguing Amorim had again picked the wrong starting XI.

The outlet also warned that without changes or improvements in play or approach, Milan risk another stagnant season, and said striker Gonçalo Ramos made little impact.

Tuttosport described the performance as a collapse and called Amorim’s European debut this season a bitter experience.

Corriere dello Sport highlighted how Benfica imposed themselves at San Siro, adding that the visitors effectively conquered the stadium and that home fans booed their own side.
