Adel Taarabt, the enigmatic figure of Moroccan football, wasted no time in making an impact in his new venture in Italy. On loan from QPR to AC Milan, Taarabt made an immediate impression in his debut match, winning over the hearts of Rossoneri fans.
Given a starting role in his first appearance, the former Fulham player showcased his individual brilliance by scoring a stunning solo goal to put AC Milan ahead in their encounter against Napoli last Saturday. This goal served as a testament to Taarabt’s undeniable talent, although he has often struggled with consistency throughout his career.
Despite Taarabt’s contribution, AC Milan ultimately fell short, suffering a 3-1 defeat in a match that saw Mario Balotelli leave the field with tears in his eyes. Additionally, Michael Essien made his debut appearance for the club in this fixture.
