Newcomer to the Italian “Milan”, striker Santiago Jimenez played his first two matches in the Italian championship and in both cases did not leave the field without scoring a goal. First, the Mexican stood out in the match against “Empoli” (2:2), and then scored the winning goal against “Verona” (1:0).
Thus, Jimenez repeated the achievements of Andriy Shevchenko and Christian Pulisic — previously, only they managed to score in each of their first two matches for “Milan” in Serie A.
Interestingly, the Mexican plays for “Milan” wearing the same number that Shevchenko wore at this club — the seventh.
We remind that Jimenez moved to “Milan” from the Dutch “Feyenoord” for €32 million.
