AC Milan remain one of Italian football’s fixed reference points: founded in 1899, based at the Stadio San Siro, and carrying a scale that needs little explanation to Celtic supporters used to European nights with a bit of weight.
In the 2026-27 season, Milan sit sixth in Serie A and have also competed in the Europa League League Phase. Their squad is sizeable – 37 players, with an average age of 24 – and is valued at around £475.5m by Transfermarkt.
Their recent league form has been steady rather than spectacular. Draws away to Lazio and Juventus followed wins over Venezia and Torino, with the 1-2 home defeat to Cagliari still sitting close enough in the sequence to discourage any talk of full control.
At San Siro, the numbers are firm: an average of two goals scored and none conceded per match points to a side comfortable on its own ground. Away from home they still carry a threat, scoring 1.7 per match, though conceding 1.3 leaves more room for damage.
Alphadjo Cissè and Diego Moreira lead their scoring with two goals each, followed by Gonçalo Matias 'Gonçalo Ramos' Ramos and Adrien Rabiot on one. Milan’s current profile is clear enough: a young, expensive squad, strong at home, sitting in the upper part of Serie A without yet looking fully settled.
