SALERNITANA v AC MILAN: THE SOCIAL CORNER

AC Milan got off to the best possible start after the long World Cup break, and they did so by winning 2-1 against Nicola's Salernitana. Goals from Leão and Tonali allowed Pioli's Rossoneri to come away with all three points their first official match of 2023, and several stars celebrated the victory on social media.

A goal and assist in the first outing of 2023 for Sandro Tonali, star of the show with a leading performance. A performance that did not go unnoticed in the eyes of the fans, who rewarded him with the MVP of the match. What a start!

Another strong showing for Aster Vranckx, who came on in the 86th minute to provide solidity to the Rossoneri's midfield and proved useful in defending the precious lead. "Let's pick up where we left off," his post read. Way to go Aster!

For the third consecutive season, he scored the first goal of the calendar year for the Rossoneri. Rafael Leão opened the scoring in the 10th minute and his bursts down the wing gave the Granata defence a hard time until the final whistle. Our number 17 got 2023 off to a strong start.

Decisive blocks and the usual defensive alertness throughout the 90 minutes. Fikayo also celebrated the 2-1 win on social media: "Back with a W".

Returning to the starting lineup after a long absence, the captain showed his usual leadership and understanding on the Rossoneri's right flank, where he made no shortage of advances and dangerous crosses. "I'm happy to be back on the pitch, I missed this feeling," he commented.

'It's just the beginning,' wrote the Rossoneri's number 10. A message full of passion and meaning towards a year that has yet to unfold.

Alexis celebrates the three points and maps the way forward for the Rossoneri: "Important victory today! Let's keep it going!".
