Daniel Maldini and Pierre Kalulu were among the players on target, as Milan beat Serie B side Monza 4-1 at San Siro.
This friendly had been organised as a reunion for former Rossoneri chiefs Silvio Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani, who now run Monza, but the President is in hospital after his COVID-19 diagnosis and the CEO self-isolating as a precaution.
It took just six minutes for Milan to break the deadlock with a long-range daisy-cutter from Davide Calabria.

This friendly had been organised as a reunion for former Rossoneri chiefs Silvio Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani, who now run Monza, but the President is in hospital after his COVID-19 diagnosis and the CEO self-isolating as a precaution.
It took just six minutes for Milan to break the deadlock with a long-range daisy-cutter from Davide Calabria.
The defence was caught out by a ball over the top and Antonio Donnarumma flapped aimlessly as Mattia Finotto put the equaliser into an empty net.
Maldini restored his team’s advantage with a wonderful inside of the right boot finish into the far top corner after combining repeatedly with Lucas Paqueta.
Gabriel Paletta, another familiar face to the hosts, wasted a golden opportunity when firing over from a corner.
Cristian Brocchi’s Monza impressed in the second half and forced saves from Donnarumma with Marco Armellino, while Maldini had several more opportunities, and Theo Hernandez had to perform a goal-line clearance.
The Serie A side consolidated its victory with two goals late on, as left-back Pierre Kalulu fired in a right-foot strike from the edge of the box and Lorenzo Colombo’s spectacular left-foot curler from distance completed the rout.
