AC Milan are a long-established Italian club, founded in 1899 and based at the Stadio San Siro. Their 2025-26 squad was large and relatively young: 46 players, with an average age of 24.
Their league form late in the completed season was uneven. Defeats to Cagliari, Atalanta and Sassuolo sat alongside away wins at Genoa and Hellas Verona, plus a 0-0 draw with Juventus. The numbers pointed to a side more secure on the road than at San Siro, averaging 1.5 goals scored and 0.7 conceded away from home, compared with 1.3 scored and 1.1 conceded at home.
Christian Pulišić and Rafael Leão led the scoring with 10 goals each, with Christopher Nkunku on eight, Adrien Rabiot on six and Strahinja Pavlović on five. That spread gave Milan a decent attacking base without making them look especially ruthless.
For Celtic supporters, Milan remain a substantial Italian reference point: a young, sizeable squad with credible away threat, but a recent league pattern that showed clear fluctuations rather than steady control.
