Milan are enjoying Diego Moreira, one of the brightest surprises of this stage of the season. Goals, speed, technical quality and dynamism: the Belgian winger is showing that he has all the attributes to make a difference, gaining space and confidence with convincing performances.

After the brace against Lazio, Moreira found the net again in the recent league match against Lecce. Another confirmation of his excellent form and his ability to influence the final metres, turning him into a valuable resource for the Rossoneri.

His impact, moreover, is also confirmed by the numbers. In just 127 minutes played, spread over three Serie A appearances, Moreira has already scored three goals. An impressive average that perfectly describes the winger’s golden moment and fuels the expectations of Milan fans.

Moreira like Balotelli and Piatek: a historic record in sight

There is a statistical fact that makes the Belgian’s path even more interesting. In the 2000s, only Mario Balotelli in 2013 and Krzysztof Piatek in 2019 managed to score four goals in their first four Serie A matches with Milan.

Moreira is therefore one step away from a prestigious milestone: with another goal, he could join a very small group of attackers capable of making an impact from the first meetings in red and black.

The upcoming clash against Sassuolo represents an important occasion to continue the positive run. Will Moreira confirm himself and chase a record that would bring him close to two important names in recent Milan history? The Rossoneri also rely on him.
