AC Milan’s group’s unity and strength were on full display in during the 3-2 win over Udinese on Saturday night at the Stadio Friuli.
There has been criticism of the Rossoneri’s transfer window dealings, but the win in Udine came about thanks to three goals from players who arrived in the past summer.
Meanwhile, the likes of Theo, Florenzi, Leao and Giroud – all long-standing members of the squad – were involved in the lead-up to these finishes.
The data shows that Milan are getting contributions from the summer additions and also the subs that come off the bench during games, while below are more striking numbers.
Pulisic ahead of Ronaldinho
With 11 goal contributions (goals and assists) in his first 19 AC Milan games in Serie A, Christian Pulisic sits eighth in this special Rossoneri ranking topped by Ibrahimovic, who recorded 20 in his opening 19 top-flight matches for the club.
Ronaldo is fourth (13), while Pulisic sits level with Pato on eleven and ahead of Ronaldinho on ten.
Okafor and Jovic quicker than Gilardino, Ronaldo and Tomasson
Noah Okafor and Luka Jovic have scored four Serie A goals for AC Milan so far and have done so in 412 and 471 minutes, respectively.
Looking back at the recent past, they’ve been quicker to reach this tally than some renowned Rossoneri strikers.
For example, it took Gilardino 504 minutes, Ronaldo 560 minutes and Tomasson 660 minutes to net four times for the Diavolo.
Reijnders the reliable
Tijjani Reijnders, who is enjoying his first season at AC Milan, has featured for 2409 minutes so far, which equates to 92.3% of the entire campaign.
It means he has been the most-used player in the Rossoneri squad in 2023-24, ahead of Theo Hernandez (2330 minutes, 89.27%) and Mike Maignan (2240 minutes, 85.82%).
No Milan player has played more minutes in their opening 29 matches for the Club in all competitions.
