"The way we got into the game, the effort, the attitude, the way we won balls and put pressure on Milan was great. We created chances, scored an early goal and kept the pressure high. This was Bournemouth, and this is what we wanted to show."

• Bournemouth have become the first English side to win each of their first three games in major European competition since Sunderland back in October 1973.

• The Cherries netted twice from the penalty spot in the first half of a game (any competition) for the first time since November 2024 v Wolves in the Premier League.
