Overview
- Milan suffered their first Serie A defeat on Wednesday, October 28, losing 4-2 at San Siro after Samuel Mbangula scored a hat-trick that sealed the comeback.
- Coach Ruben Amorim said the team felt tired from the first minute and blamed limited rotation and low energy rather than using injuries as an excuse.
- The club had at least eight absences for the match, including Mario Gila, Samuel Chukwueze, Adrien Rabiot and Diego Moreira, and Fikayo Tomori was forced off at half-time.
- A two-minute collapse immediately after the break, compounded by a costly Davide Bartesaghi own goal and defensive errors, turned a halftime lead into defeat.
- The result drew boos from much of the crowd and put fresh pressure on ownership to fund January signings for defence and midfield ahead of the Derby della Madonnina.
