Although they are yet to score in the Champions League, AC Milan return to domestic duty in Genoa on Saturday, sitting second in the Serie A standings.
After their second straight goalless draw in Europe, Milan must now tackle an improving home side at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
With their only loss a 5-1 derby hammering by Inter, the Rossoneri have already accrued 18 points in Serie A, which represents their third-best total at this stage during the 21st century; also enough to join their city rivals at the top of the table.
Last week's 2-0 home win over Lazio - when goals from summer signings Christian Pulisic and Noah Okafor secured victory at San Siro - took Milan onto a tally last achieved after seven games in the Scudetto-winning campaign of 2021-22 - and before that, some 20 years ago.
All of which bodes well for hopes of a title challenge this term, with the race apparently wide open at this point of proceedings - particularly with Napoli still short of their best and both Rome clubs struggling to keep pace.
