Olivier Giroud drags Milan into the last summer test before the league debut (Monday 23 August against Sampdoria). The French striker scored a brace in the match played against Panathinaikos at Nereo Rocco in Trieste, won by the Rossoneri 2-1.
Without the injured Ibrahimovic and Kessie, for the coach Stefano Pioli it was an opportunity for the last tests towards the match against the Dorians: good responses in particular from Giroud, already in a championship atmosphere with the decisive double. In the final, after the classic swirl of changes, the Greeks shortened the gap with Ioannidis, on a mess in the setting phase of Tatarusanu, who had taken over from Maignan.
