AC Milan remain one of the more substantial names in the Italian game, founded in 1899 and still housed at the Stadio San Siro. Their squad is valued at around £475.5m by Transfermarkt, with 37 players and an average age of 24 – a large, young group by elite-level standards.
In the 2026-27 season they sit fifth in Serie A, with Coppa Italia involvement having reached the third round and Europa League football listed at league-phase level. Their recent league run has been steady rather than flawless: a 3-0 home win over Lecce followed draws away to Lazio and Juventus, with earlier wins against Venezia and Torino offset by a 1-2 home defeat to Cagliari.
Their home numbers are the sharpest part of the profile. Milan are averaging 2.5 goals scored per match at the San Siro and have conceded 0, which gives them both a strong home attack and a tight defensive base. Away from home they still carry a threat, averaging 1.7 goals scored, though the 1.3 conceded per match points to a less controlled side on the road.
Diego Moreira leads their scoring with three goals, followed by Alphadjo Cissè and Adrien Rabiot on two. Gonçalo Ramos and Christian Pulišić have also contributed. For Celtic supporters, the current picture is of a high-value Milan squad, young in profile, sitting in the upper reaches of Serie A and strongest when allowed to build from home advantage.
📈 Key stats and insights
⚔️ How they compare to Celtic
Compared with Celtic, who sit top of the table, AC Milan present a different set of threats: Celtic hold the advantage in league position and points, while Milan offer one of the league's best attacking units and a very robust defensive record, especially at home; for Celtic the key challenge will be breaking down Milan's compact defence without allowing the second-half scoring tendency to be exploited.
