Gallery: ‘Allegri nightmare’, ‘Gimenez misses’ – Today’s front pages in Italy

AC Milan started their season in the worst possible way, losing 2-1 to Cremonese at San Siro, and the newspapers were quick to highlight the flaws on their front pages this morning. 

Despite Rafael Leao’s absence, Milan were heavy favourites to clinch all points against the newly-promoted side. Instead, they ended up conceding two goals and only found the back of the net once, falling short in the season opener.

Massimiliano Allegri said after the game that the Rossoneri lacked the ability to perceive the danger, hence two goals conceded from crosses. No matter the reason, though, it’s clear that the manager and his men still have a lot of work to do.

The newspapers made sure to highlight these flaws on the front pages this morning, from the lacklustre performance to striker doubts.
