<p><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/ac-milan/"><strong>AC Milan</strong></a> are set to kick off the 2025-26 <strong>Serie A</strong> season at San Siro against newly promoted <strong>Cremonese</strong> in their first step toward the title race. With a new cast of stars surrounding USMNT forward <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/christian-pulisic/"><strong>Christian Pulisic</strong></a>, <strong>the <em>Rossoneri</em> are determined to reclaim their status as one of Italy’s giants</strong>.</p>



<p>Milan enter opening day following a mixed preseason that included a <strong>dominant win over Perth Glory</strong> and a <strong>disappointing 4-1 loss to Chelsea</strong>. With Massimiliano Allegri back on the sidelines and Luka Modric arriving as the marquee signing, fans are eager to see what this new project can deliver.</p>



<p><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/cremonese/"><strong>Cremonese</strong></a>, meanwhile, <strong>earned promotion alongside Pisa and Sassuolo</strong> and are preparing for their first top-flight campaign since 2023. Under head coach <strong>Davide Nicola</strong>, the club wrapped up its preseason in Livigno and heads into <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/serie-a/"><strong>Serie A</strong></a> with survival as the primary objective.</p>



<h2>Milan closing in on Victor Boniface</h2>



<p>With Rafael Leao sidelined by injury, <strong>Allegri has just Santiago Gimenez as a natural striker</strong>, pushing Milan into the transfer market for reinforcements. That search has led them to <strong>Victor Boniface</strong>, who is on the verge of joining from Bayer Leverkusen.</p>

<p>According to Fabrizio Romano, <strong>Milan will pay a €5 million loan fee with a €24M buy option</strong>. Boniface has already undergone medical tests, with doctors paying close attention to his right knee following a past cruciate ligament surgery. A final decision on the deal is expected tomorrow.</p>

How to watch AC Milan vs Cremonese in the USA: Live Stream and TV for 2025/2026 Serie A - World Soccer Talk


<p>Napoli continued their Serie A title charge as they thrashed Cremonese 3-0 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Sunday evening. The result sees the Partenopei open up a 16-point lead at the top of the standings over second-placed Inter Milan having played an extra game.</p>



<p>Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring for the hosts in the 21<sup>st</sup> minute with a brilliant bottom-corner finish. The Georgian, who was playing on his twenty-second birthday, picked up a loose ball from the right flank before dropping his shoulder to fire past Marco Carnesecchi in the Cremonese goal. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">KHVICHA KVARATSKHELIA GIVES NAPOLI FANS SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE ON HIS 22ND BIRTHDAY.  🥳 <a href="https:\/\/t.co/JwmRsQ8Jr6">pic.twitter.com/JwmRsQ8Jr6</a></p>— CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) <a href="https:\/\/twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1624864222760026112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 12, 2023</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https:\/\/platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p>The hosts should have been ahead by 3-0 within the first 30 minutes but Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen both missed free headers from just 6 yards out in the penalty box in a matter of minutes.</p>



<p>Carnesecchi kept the score at 1-0 by denying Stanislav Lobotka right before the halftime whistle as Luciano Spalletti’s side looked utterly dominant and playing like Champions elect. Cremonese, who are bottom of the standings in the Serie A hardly troubled the hosts as they failed to create any chances of their own.</p>



<p>Five minutes after the hour mark, Osimhen got his goal, tapping home into an empty net following Govani Di Lorenzo’s header that had been superbly saved by Carnesecchi. It was the Nigerian’s 17<sup>th</sup> league goal this season.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Victor Osimhen&apos;s 17th Serie A goal of the season. 🇳🇬 🦅<br><br>He extends his lead in the Capocannoniere race. 🥇 <a href="https:\/\/t.co/zjSXyMmyOi">pic.twitter.com/zjSXyMmyOi</a></p>— CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) <a href="https:\/\/twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1624880089820438528?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 12, 2023</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https:\/\/platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p>Substitute Eljif Elmas then made it 3-0 in the 79<sup>th</sup> minute with a stunning finish hitting the bottom corner after some wonderful interplay in midfield and the final third. Napoli dominated the game from start to finish and they barely allowed Cremonese to trouble their goalkeeper in the entirety of the second half.</p>



<p>It has been over 3 decades since the Partenopei last won the Scudetto back during the golden days of Diego Maradona in the 1989-90 campaign. Their scintillating form this season and a 19<sup>th</sup> victory in the league surely puts them as clear favorites to win the coveted league trophy finally after near misses over the past few years to Juventus. &nbsp;</p>
