Chukwueze's cameo fails to save Milan
Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze was introduced late in the game, but his brief appearance could not prevent AC Milan’s Champions League exit at the hands of Feyenoord.
Starting on the bench, Chukwueze entered the fray in the 83rd minute, replacing Yunus Musah, as Milan desperately searched for a way back.
However, the Nigerian winger, who has endured an inconsistent season, struggled to make an impact.
In his 14 minutes on the pitch, Chukwueze managed just three touches, delivering a single cross as Milan pressed desperately pressed forward.
While his passing accuracy was flawless—completing both of his attempted passes for a 100% success rate—his limited involvement highlighted Milan’s struggles in the final third.
Despite their efforts, Milan could only manage a 1-1 draw, bowing out of the competition 2-1 on aggregate.
For Chukwueze, it was another frustrating night, as his late cameo did little to change the outcome.
