Cremonese Secures First Serie A Win at San Siro Since 1925, Upsets AC Milan

AC Milan suffered a stunning 2-1 defeat at home to newly promoted Cremonese in their Serie A opener at San Siro, marking a disappointing start to the season and raising concerns about tactical decisions and squad depth. Cremonese took the lead through Federico Baschirotto's header and despite Milan equalizing via Strahinja Pavlovic just before halftime, the visitors sealed the upset with a spectacular bicycle kick from Federico Bonazzoli, an ex-Inter player, who demonstrated his audacity and flair despite a career mostly spent in lower divisions. Luka Modric made his Serie A debut for Milan but could not prevent the loss, and coach Massimiliano Allegri's return failed to inspire the team to victory. Cremonese's disciplined and efficient 5-3-2 formation frustrated Milan, highlighting the visitors' resolve and tactical execution. Bonazzoli's goal was widely praised as a moment of pure footballing artistry and a key factor in Cremonese's memorable victory. The result casts a shadow over Milan's ambitions for the season, emphasizing the challenges they face ahead.
