Milan: Amorin Shakes Things Up for the Europa League Debut—An Opportunity for Many

Today at San Siro (9:00 p.m.), Milan’s Europa League campaign kicks off. Their first opponent is definitely a tough one, as it’s Benfica—arguably one of the teams most likely to go all the way in the tournament.

For the match against Benfica, coach Amorim seems determined to shake up his starting lineup. He wants to see many new faces in action to gauge whether they can contribute to the Rossoneri’s cause. No doubts in goal: Maignan will start.

In defense, Terracciano returns alongside De Winter and Pavlovic, giving him a great opportunity to shine. There are also significant changes in midfield with Chukwueze, Musah, Jashari, and Bertasaghi. Up front, Cisse is a sure starter. Hutchinson will play alongside him. Leading the line is former Benfica player Gonzalo Ramos.

The Rossoneri bench is impressive, both in terms of names and quality. From Gila to Modric, including Moreira (the hero of the match against Lazio), Rabiot, Saelemaekers, Loftus-Cheek, and Pulisic. Some are hoping that, should the game go well, there might even be a spot for the young Camarda.
