Joao Felix made a stunning start to his AC Milan career, scoring on his debut in the Coppa Italia quarterfinal against Roma. 

The 25-year-old Portuguese forward, who joined Milan on loan from Chelsea for the remainder of the season, restored his team’s two-goal lead just 10 minutes after coming on as a substitute in the 59th minute, replacing Christian Pulisic.

Felix’s debut goal capped off a memorable first appearance at the San Siro, giving Milan fans a glimpse of his potential impact. The loan deal, which includes a £4.5 million fee, will see Felix stay at Milan for the second half of the 2024/25 season, with no buy option included. AC Milan will cover all of his wages during the loan period.

Felix’s impressive debut will undoubtedly boost his confidence as he looks to leave a mark in Italy, while Chelsea will be watching closely to assess his development ahead of the summer.
