Gonzalo Ramos challenges the number 9 curse ahead of Juventus clash

Portuguese forward Gonzalo Ramos has confirmed that he does not feel concerned about the recurring talk of the 'curse of the number 9 shirt' at the club, ahead of the anticipated match against Juventus.

Sergio Ramos has said: "Everyone has talked to me about the shirt curse, but I don't think much about it. Olivier Giroud wore this number here and was not affected by this curse."

The Portuguese forward said: "For me, it is an honor to wear the number 9 shirt for Milan, as it is a prestigious shirt. I love wearing it a lot, and I hope to score many goals."

Ramos hopes to continue his strong start with Milan after scoring his first goal at San Siro, while coach Ruben Amorim is relying on the Portuguese striker to lead the team's front line this season.
