SAMPDORIA v AC MILAN: THE SOCIAL CORNER

It was a brilliant win, attained with the team a man down for an entire half of football. Yesterday's victory over Sampdoria was celebrated by the players on social media. Here are a few of their posts:

Junior Messias got the game at Marassi off to a flying start, scoring in the sixth minute. "A win by a mature team," a brief but powerful message.

Three points and a big performance, 24 hours on from signing his new contract: Sandro Tonali was certainly one of the key players in the win in Genoa.

The turning point of the game was Rafael Leão receiving a second yellow card just two minutes into the second half. "Once again, we showed what this group is made of; despite my red card, we never gave up," wrote the Portuguese winger.

After the red card, Samp equalised. But Olivier Giroud came through, scoring in his second consecutive league game.  

Aster Vranckx was handed his AC Milan debut, coming off the bench for the final quarter of an hour: "an amazing feeling".

We finish with the words of captain Davide Calabria, who sounded the call to battle for the upcoming fixtures against Dinamo Zagreb and Napoli.
