Cagliari vs. AC Milan live stream: Watch Serie A online

Cagliari face AC Milan at Sardegna Arena on Sunday, Sept.16. Here’s all the info you need to watch.

It was certainly an eventful summer for AC Milan off the field, with controversies over Financial Fair Play and the club’s ownership eventually leaving Milan in the hands of a U.S. hedge fund. Although the predicted mass exodus of their bigger names failed to materialize, the club were still surprisingly active in the transfer market. The headline deals were undoubtedly Leonardo Bonucci’s return to Juventus, with Gonzalo Higuaín and Mattia Caldara moving in the opposite direction. Although Milan have still only played two league games, as their match against Genoa was postponed due to the Morandi Bridge tragedy, both encounters were brimming with drama. First came a narrow loss in Naples that was a joy to watch for neutrals, followed by a deserved win over Roma that took until the fifth minute of injury-time to secure.

Cagliari actually sit above their more illustrious opponents in the table by a point, although they have played a game more. Sardinia’s finest have some recognizable faces in their defense, which includes ex-Liverpool cult hero Ragnar Klavan and Croatian legend Darijo Srna. There are other big talents in the squad, with young midfielder Nicolo Barella again being included in the latest Italy squad. Striker Leonardo Pavoletti, formidable in the air and blessed with a bullet of a shot, signed permanently in the summer after being on loan during the last campaign. Strangely, this season Cagliari’s results have improved as the quality of their opponents has risen – defeat to newly promoted Empoli was followed by a draw with Sassuolo, after which they beat Atalanta away from home. On that basis, this game should see their finest performance to date.
