Gonçalo Ramos
MIL
Scores against Venezia
Ramos scored one goal to go with eight shots (three on target) and one tackle (zero won) and drew two fouls in Friday's 2-0 win against Venezia.
Analysis: Ramos led his team in shots with a wide gap and had a fairly wasteful display, squandering a few clear-cut chances in the first half, but he redeemed himself with a clever finish from inside the box later in the contest, breaking the deadlock and opening his seasonal tally. He has fired at least five shots in the first two tilts, amassing 13 (four on target).
Inefficient in Serie A debut
Ramos recorded five shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 win over Torino.
Analysis: Ramos lacked the aim to convert a game-high total of shots into goals during his first league match since joining Milan from PSG in the summer transfer window. He'll look to get back on track in future contests, with many opportunities likely to come for him throughout the year as he carries a big share of the offensive hopes of a team that is expected to let go of its other strikers Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku.
Nets game-winner
Ramos scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Thursday's 2-1 victory over Croatia.
Analysis: Ramos entered the field in the 27th minute from the bench Thursday, becoming the biggest player of the match when he rose for a header in the 94th minute and scored the game-winning goal. This does give him his first goal of the tournament, coming in only his second appearance. With Cristiano Ronaldo likely to continue starting at forward for Portugal, Ramos will likely remain a bench option, only playing 34 minutes so far this World Cup.
Joins AC Milan
Ramos signed permanently with AC Milan after three seasons at Paris Saint-Germain, during which he won 12 trophies including two consecutive Champions League titles, his former club announced.
Analysis: Ramos came through the Benfica academy and made a sensational professional debut in July 2020, scoring twice within three minutes of coming on as a substitute against Desportivo Aves. He established himself as a regular starter the following season, finding the net 27 times across 47 appearances and earning his first cap for Portugal in 2022, a campaign that included a hat-trick against Switzerland at the World Cup in Qatar. He joined PSG in August 2023 and quickly made his mark, scoring twice on his first start in a 4-0 win over Marseille, before going on to become a reliable source of decisive late goals throughout his time at the club, including the equalizer that helped secure the historic Champions League triumph last season. Across three seasons in Paris, Ramos made 131 appearances, scored 45 goals and provided 10 assists, cementing his place in the club's history. The Portuguese forward, who has earned 26 caps and scored 10 goals for his national team, now embarks on a new chapter with Milan in Serie A.
Eligible after league ban
Ramos is cleared to play again after serving suspension in the recent Ligue 1 clash against Lorient.
Analysis: Ramos could now see action in both league and UCL competitions, but he might continue to serve as a backup option behind Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue. The Portuguese striker might find more opportunities in league play, where he has scored six goals and assisted once across 27 matches played (12 starts) this season. Considering his side's offensive ability, he should be a strong threat whenever he's on the field.
Sent off against Angers
Ramos was shown a red card during Saturday's 3-0 win over Angers.
Analysis: Ramos attempted three shots in a 74-minute outing before leaving due to a second yellow card. The striker will consequently serve suspension in the next league match against Lorient, though he could remain active in the UCL semifinals. In any case, a rested Ousmane Dembele is likely to fill the void in the starting lineup while the Portuguese is unavailable.
