Milan’s dramatic win over Genoa not only had late drama, red cards and a striker in goal, but also an element of celebrity gossip involving Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.
The Rossoneri edged out a tense 1-0 win over the Rossoblu after an 87th minute striker from Christian Pulisic, which itself wasn’t without controversy as some believe that the American winger committed a handball as he controlled the ball.
The match got everyone talking after Olivier Giroud donned the goalkeeping gloves following Mike Maignan’s 98th minute red card. The French striker pulled off an impressive last-minute save to guarantee all three points for Milan, putting them top of the table.
For a match that had everything, a background element of celebrity gossip only added to the occasion. Ever-controversial rapper Kanye West made a surprise appearance at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, meeting with Genoa’s management and posing with their shirt.
He is in Italy recording a new album and is set to hold a surprise concert in Reggio-Emilia on October 13.
Rossoneri star Rafael Leao took the chance to take a photo with the rapper, calling him a “legend”.

Amusingly, Kanye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian also shared photos of Milan shirts on her Instagram story, one with Pulisic on the back and the other with her name, both signed by the American winger. Some have suggested that the reality star was sending a message regarding her ex-husband.
