Today was the day that Mario Pasalic finally made his debut for Milan after his summer move from Chelsea. Speaking to Milan TV after the game, the 21-year-old Croatian explained that; “I am very happy to have made my debut at the San Siro. It was really exciting after a long period without playing now I’m waiting for the next match and hope to be involved more regularly”.
 

He continued; “I’m getting stronger physically and now I’m raring to go”. On the team’s performance today he stated that; “We have to keep taking three points and then let’s see where we arrive in the final standings”. Finally, on his preferred position on the field he explained that; “Well, I can play everywhere but I’m mainly a number eight”.  

Milan won the game courtesy of a Bonaventura free-kick shortly after half-time. The rossoneri also had goalkeeper Donnarumma to thank for making some more match winning saves in the second 45 minutes.
