AC Milan beat Marseille at the Vélodrome stadium thanks to goals by Junior Messias and Olivier Giroud. The team also managed to keep a clean sheet.
A player who finally returned to the pitch is Dane defender Simon Kjaer. At the end of the game, he talked to those at Milan TV and said the following:
"I am very happy. I would never have said that eight months ago, it's been a long road, but also fun in some circumstances. It's nice to be back with the team after eight months, with my teammates. I'm fine, obviously I lack the match rhythm. You can do whatever you want in training, but the game is something else. I need to play . Today very well, against a strong opponent with a lot of quality who play in a similar way to Atalanta and Verona, man against man."
Simon Kjaer added:
"We are growing physically, in my opinion we are at a good point. We are always working to take one more step. We think match after match, like last season. It must be said that the forwards are doing an extraordinary job. If they press like this in front, it is easier for us defenders."
