Dele Alli's beginnings with Côme turned into a nightmare against AC Milan. Coming into play in the 81st minute, the former Tottenham midfielder spent only nine minutes on the field before being expelled. Warned for a fault on Loftus-cheek in the 90th minute, his yellow card was transformed into red after intervention by the Var, despite the protests of Kyle Walker, former teammate of English among the Spurs.
Arrived free in Serie A during the winter transfer window, Dele Alli replayed after more than two years without an official match, his last appearance dating from February 26, 2023 with Besiktas. A nightmarish recovery for the English environment, as well as for his coach Cesc Fabregas, also expelled at the very end of the meeting for protests.
