Milan calmed nerves with a 2-0 win at Lecce, their first victory of the 2025/26 Serie A season. Ruben Loftus-Cheek headed in from a Luka Modrić free kick before Christian Pulisic sealed it late. Modrić, at 39 years and 354 days, became the oldest midfielder to assist in Serie A since 2004/05. Milan’s run of scoring at least two in 11 straight league matches vs Lecce continued.
