As part of the first day of Serie A 2025-2026, AC Milan lost to the promoted Cremonese (2-1), a disturbing defeat for the Rossoneri. Baschirotto opened the scoring in the 28th minute on a decisive pass from Zerbin, before Milan equalized just before the break thanks to Pavlovic, well served by the recruit Estupiñán. But Cremonese resumed the advantage in the 61st minute thanks to Bonazzoli and was able to keep this precious success. This match marked the first tenure of Luka Modric in the Milanese jersey, without avoiding disillusionment.
For its part, Roma won against Bologna thanks to a goal from Wesley, the recruit from Flamengo, positioned on the right wing. Bologna experienced some turbulence, with the Immobile Ciro injury outing from the 30th minute, replaced by Castro. On the AS Roma side, a yellow card was collected by Mancini at the 67th. Despite this, this victory is a good operation for Roma, especially with regard to Milan's underperformance, beaten by a promoted.
