AC MILAN, ALL THE NUMBERS FROM SERIE A 2020/21

A long, anomalous, exhausting, exciting season with a very sweet ending, and a much-desired homecoming. This sentence could best summarise AC Milan's Serie A season in 2020/21, a championship that, for the Rossoneri team, above all meant a return to the Champions League. A historic season, in which Stefano Pioli's boys distinguished themselves in various statistical categories, rewriting records in some cases. These are the main statistics from AC Milan’s 2020/21 Serie A season.

AC Milan won 16 away games in the league this season, setting a new record for away wins in a single Serie A season: surpassing Inter in 2006/07 (15).

AC Milan were the Serie A team that scored the most goals between the 16th and 30th minutes of play (15, 20% of all goals scored during the season). The Rossoneri also conceded fewer goals than anyone else in the league between the 31st and 45th minutes of play (just one goal).
