Bonazzoli’s bicycle kick stuns Rossoneri on Modric’s frustrating debut
AC Milan suffered major setback at the start of their Serie A campaign falling 2 - 1 at home to newly promoted Cremonese in night that spoiled Luka Modric’s much anticipated league debut.
Cremonese took surprise lead in the 28 minute through Federico Baschirotto’s powerful header. Milan responded just before halftime when Strahinja Pavlovic equalized with header of his own raising hopes of turnaround.
The visitors struck again after the hour mark when Federico Bonazzoli scored with spectacular bicycle kick silencing San Siro and leaving Milan stunned.
Despite Modric delivering strong performance and standing out in midfield, the croatian star’s Serie A debut ended in frustration.
Coach Massimiliano Allegri’s return to San Siro added to the disappointment for Milan fans as the team lacked sharpness in both defense & attack.
