Ramos strikes as AC Milan beat Venezia

AC Milan secured a 2-0 victory over Venezia in their home opener of the Serie A season. The Italian champions showcased their new star signing Goncalo Ramos, who scored his first goal in the league with a precise drive from a tight angle in the 69th minute. This marked a significant moment for Milan, as they began their campaign with a win after the passing of former captain Franco Baresi.

Ramos, acquired from Paris Saint-Germain for 74 million euros, expressed that his primary focus was on the team's triumph rather than his individual goal. He added that he would have scored more than one goal during the match.

Milan's new manager, Ruben Amorim, watched the match closely and appreciated Ramos' contribution. The Portuguese striker joked about missing an early chance but quickly redeemed himself with the opening goal, which lifted the home crowd.

Substitute Ardon Jashari added a second goal for Milan in the 89th minute, sealing the win. The match also featured a controversial own goal from Venezia's Redouane Halhal, who deflected a shot from a Jashari into the net.

Milan's first home game since Baresi's passing saw the team starting to exhibit the DNA and mindset expected from a newly formed unit. Ramos concluded the press conference by praising the group, stating, "I already feel right at home in this group."
