Santiago Gimenez
MILDelivers one assist
Gimenez assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Cagliari.
Analysis: Gimenez contributed directly to the opening goal in Sunday's 1-2 defeat to Cagliari, nodding on Fikayo Tomori's ball over the top into the path of Alexis Saelemaekers inside two minutes to provide the assist for what initially looked like the breakthrough AC Milan desperately needed, while also adding one key pass and one tackle. Gimenez ends the 2025-26 Serie A season without scoring a goal while registering one assist across 16 appearances, enduring a difficult campaign heavily impacted by injuries. The Mexican forward will now hope to earn a place with Mexico national football team for the FIFA World Cup in June.
Struggles continue after return
Gimenez recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Genoa.
Analysis: Gimenez started alongside Christopher Nkunku in Sunday's 2-1 win at Genoa, operating as the right-sided striker in manager Massimiliano Allegri's system and working hard in the buildup to both goals without generating a meaningful chance of his own, finishing the match without a shot on target before being replaced in the second half. The Mexican forward, who missed most of the season after undergoing ankle surgery in December, has struggled to find his rhythm since returning and has been unable to replicate the prolific form that made him one of Europe's most coveted strikers during his time at Feyenoord. Gimenez failed to score across 15 Serie A appearances this season, totaling nine shots and three on target, heading into the FIFA World Cup with Mexico on home soil.
