Milan Hit the Ground Running in the Season Opener
August 20, 2022
Nothing says domination in Milan's season opener against Bergamo Calcio inside the famed San Siro on Saturday as Milan pummeled their long-time rivals 12-0.
“It's what we come to expect as a team,” Jude Bellingham, who put up a hat trick and 6 assists to deliver the demolishing of Bergamo. “We wanted to give the fans everything we got and the proof is in the results.”
Bellingham isn't the only person happy with his performance today; CAM Florian Wirtz is another player who is very happy with his excellent run of form at the moment. “I'm playing really well right now and really enjoying my football at Milan,” he told the press. “I spoke to Ms. Gianni about staying in the season opener while my form has been good and she agreed wholeheartedly. There's not much you can say about her that hasn't been said already.”
The next stop for Milan will be the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino to take on Torino FC next Saturday.
