Watch: Ricci impresses in Milan debut against Arsenal – his key moments

Yesterday, Samuele Ricci made his debut for AC Milan and many were left feeling impressed by the midfielder’s performance.

Whilst Milan were on the wrong side of the result yesterday, there was a lot to take away from the performance, including several individal games. Of course, one of those was Ricci, who made his first appearance for his new club.

Ricci’s first Milan game

Having played in Serie A before, there is no new factor to Ricci. In fact, most will already know what the Italian provides. However, the big intrigue was how he would fit into the midfield, and what Massimiliano Allegri would task him with.

It seems, from the game against Arsenal, that he plans to use Ricci as a sort of metronome in midfield, to keep things ticking. So, his first game was very much a success, as can be seen below, courtesy of @MilanRayy_ on X.
