The 2026-27 Serie A season got underway on Sunday with Milan traveling to face Torino at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. The match marked the competitive debut for Milan under new manager Rúben Amorim, while both clubs looked to make strong starts to their campaigns.
Milan’s lineup featured several notable inclusions for their season opener. Gonçalo Ramos, Mario Gila, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were all named in the starting XI for the Rossoneri. However, the visitors were without winger Rafael Leão, who was unavailable for selection on the day.
Torino also made changes to their squad composition heading into the new season, with Cissé included in their starting formation. The Turin club was marking their 91st participation in Serie A, while Milan entered their 104th campaign in the competition.
The matchday one fixture represented the beginning of what both teams hoped would be successful seasons, with Amorim’s Milan tenure starting immediately with a challenging away assignment against their opponents.
