AC Milan Defeats PSG 2-1 in Champions League with Former Milan Goalkeeper Donnarumma Receiving Hostile Reception from Fans
Milan's first win of the season in the Champions League; goals from Rafael Leão and Olivier Giroud sink PSG while fans taunt Donnarumma, who departed for PSG in 2021, with fake money and boos.
- AC Milan secured their first Champions League victory of the season with a 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), featuring goals from Rafael Leão and Olivier Giroud.
- Gianluigi Donnarumma, formerly of AC Milan and current PSG goalkeeper, received a hostile reception from Milan fans who showered him with fake bank notes displaying his image and boos.
- Even though PSG scored the opening goal through Milan Škriniar, AC Milan quickly recovered with an equalizer by Leão and later the match-winner by Giroud just after half-time.
- The win provides a much-needed morale boost for Milan, who started the match at the bottom of Group F in the Champions League and had a disappointing recent run of form.
- The match also marked the first return of Donnarumma to San Siro since his controversial departure from Milan as a free agent two years ago to join PSG.
