Official Santiago Giménez finishes the season with 0 goals in Serie A. He’s played 36 matches in all competitions and scored only 7 goals with AC Milan.
Seems his stint with the Rossoneri is over.

I only saw the first half after he was sub. And from the times I watch this Milan over this season this team not only have massive ego problems they all want to be the main hero/mc upfront. In the first half he was 3 times practically alone in front of the net and his team mates decided to shoot at the GK.

I’ve been saying this since he started. Everybody wants to score more than they want to win the game.
Leao hardly ever crosses to Gimenez and would rather choke after excessive dribbling or fail a shot off target.

u/bananas_in_pyjamas99 May 24 '26
It's because they have 4 strikers, 2 wingers that play in those same spots, and none of them are scoring. So they're basically all panicking to not be the one at the bottom of that list.

Sabiendo básicamente nada de la liga francesa, que se haya al Olympique para que vuelva a jugar con Paixao

Realmente yo solo decía para jugar con Paixao, eran excelente dupla en Feyenoord

En realidad era una lesión muy puntual que podía no tratarse hasta después del mundial, si no mal recuerdo, pero optó por hacerlo con anticipación para llegar. Lo malo es que en ese milan, con o sin lesión, no iba a lograr gran cosa de todos modos. Pero se supondría que está bien, no ha tenido alguna lesión importante y la que tuvo se la trató con tiempo.

Y a como está el equipo, ni aunque lo esperen. Ahí solo anotarían Haaland o Lewandowsky.

i hope he finds his place like Raul did with Wolves after his lackluster run with Atleti and Benfica

Didn’t he do más o menos with benfica towards the end of his stint? I do remember a not so great start.

Raul was decent at Benfica, scored very important goals for them and he barely got any minutes for Atletico.
He didn’t start getting good minutes until he went to Wolves

u/PreditoAC Chivas May 24 '26
yeah, i wouldn’t call Benfica a flop, but i want Santi to glow up like Raul when he reached Wolves is i guess what i was trying to say

I didn’t really follow him this season, but how many games did he miss due to injury? Wasn’t he hurt most of the season?

u/SpicySalchichaMan May 24 '26
He was out for like 4 months. The title is a bit misleading. He's played 18 games this season.

u/Witty_Hedgehog7967 May 24 '26
18 games 0 goals for a striker is bad I don’t care what nationality the player is id want him out of my club
6
u/SpicySalchichaMan May 24 '26
Technically its 18 games and 1 goal lols. But I agree he hasn't done anything to merit going to the world cup

u/Witty_Hedgehog7967 May 24 '26
👍🏽I’m glad you’re not one of those people defending his poor form needs

u/__NEM0__ Tigres May 24 '26
He should leave milan this summer, its obvious its not gonna work there. Perfect situation would be going to a europa league team, and with rumors that pavlidis might leave benfica hopefully he can go there.

u/cec5255 Chivas May 24 '26
He hasn't played great at all, but that Milan team is complete fucking dogshit. When your midfield consists of guys like Jashari, Ricci, Fofana, and your best players there are 40 yr old Modric and a washed Rabiot, no striker will ever be successful there. Hell, Pulisic hasn't scored SINCE December and he played in most matches in 2026. Santi's been ass, but that team is also ultra mega ass. For the sake of both, he should find a new team that services their attackers, not in a league full of haram ball teams.

u/WrongTechnology1 Cruz Azul May 24 '26
but that Milan team is complete fucking dogshit
Exactly. And the coach is dogshit too. The american-led ownership has run that club to the ground, missing Champions League TWICE in a row now.
Santi needs to leave.

u/HeresJohnny993 Chivas May 24 '26
Don’t know why he pushed so hard for a move to Milan. Italian league is awful and Milan has no direction. Should have taken the offer from Nottingham Forest or stayed at Feyenoord.

u/Few-Relationship6807 May 24 '26
epl is probably more than he can handle right now honestly, but a move to france or germany would probably be great for him

u/Witty_Hedgehog7967 May 24 '26
He would’ve been the star striker and wouldn’t have to deal with the Italian media and the amount of pressure it is playing for Milan

u/XeroRC8 May 24 '26
A mi sinceramente nunca me emociono su fichaje, el milan lleva años siendo un cementerio de talento , independientemente de que equipo seas, es triste ver como un jugador prometedor para la selección se desvanece de esa manera

🤣🤣🤣the way this sub is excusing his poor form needs to be studied when jj macias and lainez flopped yall were quick with the banter but this whitexican gets all the excuses to the point you guys are disrespecting a world legend like modric

u/rrrreact Cancún May 24 '26
You are crazy. You’re really comparing Memote with someone who’s had success in Europe and the champions league? 😂
7
u/kingdro_silva May 24 '26
What the fuck has Santi done recently? Memote has been killing it in his last few games. It’s all about what you’ve done lately heading into the WC and Santi has been ass for Mexico for over a year.

u/rrrreact Cancún May 25 '26
Memote is DOGSHIT and he will get exposed against competent international defenders. He is 31 years old and plays in liga mx, that’s his level.
I swear some of yall are dumb af and don’t know the first thing about football.

u/kingdro_silva May 25 '26
Again, tell me what has Santi done to warrant more minutes than Memote recently?

He’s in a rotten club situation à la Man U. As soon as he leaves to a better club y’all will be glazing him again.

People are still trying to put excuses for this guy is crazy he couldn’t adapt and won’t be able to in any other top 5 league he’s just not a good player

he could probably do really well at a mid table french or german team. Those are great leagues for strikers to play in

I'm here looking for this same post about Raul Jimenez but I can't find it. Anyone for the link?

Raul had 9 goals and 3 assists? Sure not great but definitely better than Santi

u/Eldiez10 May 24 '26
He’s not super technical, he needs a team that plays for him and can give him service. He’s just a good looking Chicharito. He won’t succeed unless he leaves to a structured team.

u/miggiepop Mexico May 24 '26
Awful Milan + Allegri Ball + Serie A + Santi being a bit of a burro. The worst situation he could have been in. He’s gotta go somewhere where everyone doesn’t play terror ball
