Ramos before Benfica clash: It's always great to play at home and I want to score

Portuguese forward Gonzalo Ramos spoke about the anticipated match against SL Benfica on Wednesday at San Siro, as part of the UEFA Europa League group stage. He emphasized the importance of the game for him, especially as it brings him face to face with his former team, where he began his career and shone before moving to Paris Saint-Germain and then AC Milan.

Ramos said: "It's always great to play at home, and I'm really looking forward to this match. I really want to score goals," in a clear message from the Portuguese forward about his desire to regain his scoring touch, after netting a goal against Venezia but struggling to get enough chances in the last two matches against Juventus and SS Lazio.

The match against SL Benfica holds special significance for Ramos, who knows the Portuguese club well, having played over 100 matches and scored 41 goals before his departure.

The AC Milan striker hopes to leverage his previous knowledge of the opponent to deliver a strong performance and lead his team to an ideal start in the UEFA Europa League.

Milan and coach Ruben Amorim are counting on Ramos to lead the attack against SL Benfica, especially since the Portuguese coach has confirmed his need to provide the striker with more support and opportunities inside the penalty area.

The match presents a new opportunity for Ramos to prove himself and showcase his scoring abilities in front of the San Siro crowd.
