Overview

• AC Milan fell 2-1 to newly promoted Cremonese at San Siro to open the Serie A season.
• Santiago Giménez started, went the full 90 minutes, and missed a clear stoppage‑time header that would have tied the match.
• Massimiliano Allegri said Giménez is a little behind physically and stressed team responsibility for soft goals conceded.
• Fabrizio Romano reported that Victor Boniface did not pass Milan’s medical, voiding a verbal deal worth a €5 million loan fee plus a €24 million buy clause, with the striker returning to Germany.
• With the Boniface move off, Milan is pursuing another forward, and Gianluca Di Marzio has linked the club to Sporting CP’s 20‑year‑old Conrad Harder as the window nears its deadline.
