Getty Images<\/p>\nAC Milan\u2019s Europa League campaign took a significant hit as they fell to a clinical Ferencvaros side at San Siro. The match remained deadlocked at the interval, but the Italian side failed to capitalise on their statistical superiority, eventually finishing with 15 total shots but only two testing the opposition goalkeeper.<\/p>\n
The second half saw a total breakdown in the Rossoneri\u2019s defensive discipline. Lenny Joseph capitalised on Milan’s passivity to score twice, in the 52nd and 66th minutes, with Kristoffer Zachariassen providing both assists. Even when the visitors were reduced to ten men following Yusuf Bamidele\u2019s red card in the 77th minute, Milan could not find a way back, leaving them with just three points from their first four group stage matches.<\/p>\n
Goalkeeper & DefenceLorenzo Torriani – 5\/10<\/p>\n
A difficult evening for the young keeper. While he faced eight shots on target and recorded six saves, he was unable to produce the decisive stop needed to prevent Joseph\u2019s brace. His distribution was largely safe given Milan’s high possession, but the defensive structure in front of him offered little protection.<\/p>\n
Koni De Winter – 3\/10<\/p>\n
A night to forget for the defender. He was booked in the 51st minute, just sixty seconds before the opening goal, and struggled to track the movement of Joseph throughout the second half. He was eventually substituted in the 67th minute as Milan searched for more attacking impetus.<\/p>\n
Davide Bartesaghi – 5\/10<\/p>\n
Operated reasonably well in the first half as part of a backline that kept a clean sheet until the break. However, he was caught out of position during the transition leading to the second goal. He was replaced by Camarda as Amorim went all-out attack.<\/p>\n
Filippo Terracciano – 5\/10<\/p>\n
One of the few defenders to complete the full 90 minutes. He was active on the flank but lacked the final delivery to help Milan convert their territorial dominance into high-quality chances. He contributed to the 15 shots taken but failed to trouble the keeper personally.<\/p>\n
Sankhoun Diawara – 4\/10<\/p>\n
Struggled to impose his physicality on the game and was tactically sacrificed at half-time. His inability to shut down the supply line to Zachariassen in the first half prompted Amorim to look for alternatives in the dugout.<\/p>\n
MidfieldAdrien Rabiot – 5\/10Getty Images<\/p>\n
The Frenchman saw plenty of the ball as Milan dictated the tempo with 70% possession. However, his play was often too horizontal, failing to provide the verticality required to break the Ferencvaros block. He remained on the pitch for the full duration but faded late on.<\/p>\n
Omari Hutchinson – 6\/10<\/p>\n
Showed flashes of creativity and was one of the more proactive players in red and black. He looked to drive forward and link with Ramos, but his efforts often ended in blocked shots or crosses that missed their mark.<\/p>\n
Ardon Jashari – 5\/10<\/p>\n
A workmanlike performance in the engine room that lacked a creative spark. He was efficient in recycling possession but struggled to defend the counter-attacks that ultimately decided the match. Substituted after 63 minutes for Modric.<\/p>\n
Yunus Musah – 4\/10<\/p>\n
Failed to exert his usual energy in the wide areas. He offered little in terms of offensive output and was hooked at the half-time break as Milan looked to change their tactical shape.<\/p>\n
AttackAlphadjo Cisse – 4\/10<\/p>\n
An anonymous 46 minutes for the attacker. He failed to record a shot on target and was largely marked out of the game by the Ferencvaros centre-backs before being replaced at the interval.<\/p>\n
Goncalo Ramos – 5\/10<\/p>\n
The focal point of the attack was left isolated for long periods. Despite Milan’s high shot volume, Ramos rarely had a clear-cut opportunity to test Dibusz, with the Hungarian defence successfully congesting the penalty area.<\/p>\n

Came on at half-time to provide more width but found it difficult to beat his man. His entry did little to stem the tide of the Ferencvaros counters.<\/p>\n
Christian Pulisic – 6\/10<\/p>\n
The American brought some urgency following his half-time introduction. He was involved in Milan’s best sequence of play, though he could not produce the goal or assist required to spark a comeback.<\/p>\n
Mario Gila – 5\/10<\/p>\n
Introduced for the second half to solidify the defence, but Milan still conceded twice within twenty minutes of his arrival.<\/p>\n
Luka Modric – 5\/10<\/p>\n
The veteran midfielder was brought on in the 63rd minute to provide control. While he helped sustain the high possession stats, the game was already slipping away by the time he found his rhythm.<\/p>\n
Francesco Camarda – 5\/10<\/p>\n
A late throw of the dice by Amorim. The teenager worked hard but had very little service to work with in the closing stages.<\/p>\n
Ruben Amorim – 3\/10![\"FBL-EUR-C3-MILAN-FERENCVAROS\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/GettyImages-2303204890.jpg\")

A tactical failure for the manager. Despite having 70% possession, his side lacked a Plan B once they fell behind. His three half-time substitutions failed to alter the momentum of the game, and the defensive high line was repeatedly exploited by the visitors.<\/p>\n
I began my journalism career in 2011, initially specializing in investigative reporting. This experience allowed me to explore different fields in depth, develop strong analytical skills, and build a solid foundation in journalism. Eventually, I decided to pursue my first passion: football. I went on to cover the Egyptian national teams across all age groups, while expanding my coverage to include the global game and its biggest stories.<\/p>\n
My passion for football began on the pitch, where I played for the youth teams of several Egyptian clubs. That early experience shaped my understanding of the game and fueled my desire to follow football at every level. My journey as a fan of the global game dates back to the 1998 FIFA World Cup, alongside a deep-rooted interest in Egyptian domestic football. However, my connection with the game has never been limited to watching matches on television. I have consistently followed my favorite team, Zamalek, from the stands, experiencing the atmosphere, emotions, and intensity of Egyptian football firsthand. As one of the most successful clubs of the 20th century, Zamalek holds a special place in my football journey.<\/p>\n
On the European stage, AC Milan has always been my favorite club, largely because of my admiration for legendary players such as George Weah, Paolo Maldini, Gennaro Gattuso, Kak\u00e1, Andrea Pirlo, Ronaldinho, and Clarence Seedorf. My appreciation for these football icons has also made watching historic El Cl\u00e1sico encounters between Real Madrid and Barcelona even more enjoyable, allowing me to appreciate the rivalry without taking sides in the endless debates between their supporters. Among all my football memories, one stands above the rest: AC Milan\u2019s redemption against Liverpool in the 2007 UEFA Champions League final, when Filippo Inzaghi scored a historic brace to secure a memorable victory.<\/p>\n
Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with two of the Middle East\u2019s leading sports platforms, Kooora and GOAL.com. These experiences have given me extensive knowledge of both Arab and international football, while allowing me to develop my skills across different areas of sports journalism and digital content. In 2022, I was honored to become a member of the Egyptian Journalists Syndicate, marking an important milestone in my professional journey. In January 2026, I took another significant step in my career by transitioning to the English-language edition of GOAL.com, broadening my experience in international football journalism and English-language sports content while continuing to pursue my passion for telling the stories that make football the world’s game.<\/p>\n
